Friendly Fires

Tags: dance, electronic, indie, indietronica, new rave

Summary: Friendly Fires is a dancepunk band which formed in 2006 in St Albans, England. They consist of Ed MacFarlane (vocals), Edd Gibson (guitar) and Jack Savidge (drums). The band released their self-titled debut album on 1 September 2008. It contains the singles ", Paris", , ", Jump in the Pool", , and ", Skeleton Boy", . Formed out of the ashes of First Day Back , the St Albans, United Kingdom hardcore band they formed while still at school, Friendly Fires make razor-sharp post-punk that burns through the memories of all the dismal, skinny jeaned ‘80s revivalists you’ve been hearing these past few years.
