The Fake Friends

The Fake Friends sound like a bunch of old hardcore guys trying to make pop songs. Yeah, on it's face, that doesn't seem like it would be a good idea, but it's honestly one of the things that makes this band so fucking great. Sweet licks, infectious choruses, introspective lyrics with some epic breakdowns thrown in make for some intense and supremely addictive songs.

The singer Matt is a huge fan of Butt Rock (which is apparently a real thing) and the band would eventually like to die onstage.
