Holy crap, I’ve been listening to this album for what seems like forever now and I still haven’t grown tired of it. Friends Of Friends is an outfit that operates out of Tallahassee, FL but that’s pretty much all that they have in common with Creed.

On “Deep Search” they prove that they run a tight ship even though their course may seem to be randomly plotted all over the map. They wouldn’t look out of place on No Idea with their gruff vocal work and loud distorted guitars yet I’m willing to bet they have the entire Archers Of Loaf discography at home just the same. Next to the jangly indie rock and rowdy sounds, they also know their way around a melody and like to throw in sound bites in pretty much every song.

That these guys haven’t been picked up by a label yet is of course just a misunderstanding that should be rectified in what can only be a matter of weeks. Until this album gets a proper release, you might as well go ahead and download it for free over at their MySpace page.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
