Having emerged from the vibrant music scene of Brisbane, the band embodies the unfiltered and authentic sound of suburban Australia. Finalising their lineup in 2023, this tight-knit group of best friends has been turning heads, earning the descriptor from triple j as “Great, Lethal Modern Rock.” Their blend of attention-grabbing indie-rock with heartfelt narratives has resonated with audiences, as Friends of Friends continue to rise. Fronted by the dynamic lead singer/producer, Barnaby Baker, the trio, also featuring multi-instrumentalist Frank Christian and rhythmic anchor Morgan Blake, seamlessly blend elements of new-wave punk, 2000's indie, and alt-pop. Drawing inspiration from revered acts like The Cure, U2, Blink-182, Radiohead, and Nine Inch Nails, Friends of Friends craft a potent and razor-sharp sound, marked by iconic soaring indie guitars and glistening synthscapes. 2024 has already been a defining year for the band, on the back of playing at Australia biggest music festival Spilt Milk with acts such as Post Malone and Royal Otis, and now the release of their highly anticipated debut EP, ‘REAL LIFE, RIGHT NOW,’ Friends of Friends are “quickly proving themselves as ones to watch” [AU review], even earning nods from Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, who rocked up to their live show in Brisbane.
