Day Friend Drop New Single + Release Show (4/4) at 13th Floor

Thanks to my friend Mark during the planning stages of our annual ATH vs SOTO show, he turned me on to one of our new favorite Austin outfits, Day Friend. The band have graciously allowed us to share their brand new single before it’s proper release next Friday! I love the way they set this whole Double AA side up; the first side is a love letter from a parasite to its host, while the flip side has the host giving a big fuck you to said parasite. You can even hear the dynamism in the way they approach the songwriting, with Part 1 embracing a more melodic nature, still angular but with the softer side one associates with a love letter. Turn it over and there’s nothing kind being offered, with a powerful blast of rebellion coming from the host (we could all use a lot more rebellion right now!); this half also features a huge ripping breakdown, with the group’s musicianship on full display. One of the more exciting acts in town at the moment; they’ll celebrate the release of their new single at the 13th Floor, next Friday with Exotic Fruitica and Feedr.
