Internet Friends have been getting a lot of buzz lately since the release of their twisted single “Rice Krispies” earlier this summer, including spins on BBC Radio 6 Music, and Nels Hylton at BBC Radio 1 on the show 'Future Alternative', Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1 supported the "cereal based indie banger" on his evening show, TotalRock, RBB Fritz and charting on Amazing Radio. The single even entered the ESNS Emerging European Chart. The Gothenburg based trio now follow that with their new single 'Dressed to Kill' on Swedish boutique label Icons Creating Evil Art (Baby Strange, Lazy Queen).
Internet Friends keep on exploring new ways to create that music that make crowds lose their P's and Q's. This time, the band really went for it and wrote a song in the forbidden tuning of drop D. A band that pays no respect to the concept of genre's has made magic happen again. Mesmerizing guitars by Noel Hassling, pounding drums by Jakob Falkendal and surprisingly optimistic lyrics from singer Fredrik Soila; "Even though I'm still fighting my mind and all the bad thoughts in it, at least I'm Dressed To Kill."
Fredrik explains: "The lyrics were written when I had a full time job that I realized didn’t give me anything whatsoever which made me live for the weekends. On mondays I used to sneak away in to an empty room at work to write lyrics about what I had done on Friday and Saturday and one particular Monday this song is what came out. The lyrics are 100% telling my real story about chosing to be a low-life just because the other part of you is the opposite."
Last year, Fredrik Soila, Jakob Falkendal and Noel Hassling-Offrell as Internet Friends, released the “Nosebleeds” EP - the follow up to their debut EP “Yawn Yawn Yawn”. Described as "a fusion between alternative indie rock and punk pop", “Nosebleeds” built on the energy established on their pop-leaning debut. Today, they are almost unrecognizable as they give two fingers to those who made them feel unwelcome and de-prioritised in their formative years. The sunny disposition has been swapped with one of attitude, spit and discontent.
Feeling exiled by the Swedish music scene, Internet Friends began to play up the idea of professional martyrdom and developed a core audience by relentless hard work and frequent, balls-to-wall live shows. “A gig should be 60 minutes without a break, with up-tempo songs and a maximum of one ballad. We want to reach out and have a party, not give people more anxiety.”
Jakob Falkendal explains: “The core of the band is that we really want to make a big impression as a live band, to be the band we ourselves wanted to see. What is missing in Swedish music today is bands and artists with damn clear intentions. The point of playing is to entertain and offer people a free zone. I think the core is that we are not on stage for our sake, but for the sake of the audience. Because we have to give it to people. The music scene of today is poor in nutrition.”
Sink your teeth into Internet Friends now. You’ll only get hungry later.
Dressed to Kill is released July 15 via Icons Creating Evil Art
