Band: EMPTY FRIEND

Who: London-based hard rock band Empty Friend formed in 2015, taking their
name from an album track by L.A. alt-rockers Failure. The band mixes driving guitar
riffs and wailing vocals, drawing on elements of hard rock, grunge, stoner with a hint
of metal to deliver a battery of heavy, yet melodic tune.

Track: FALTER – the title track from new EP

Score: Expect colossal percussion, crushing guitars, charged vocals, and a massive
chorus. Imagine Soundgarden teaming up with Black Sabbath for a deafening jam producing a horsepower sound muscular enough to kick the ass out of that vicious coronavirus. Yes, this a wall-breaking jackhammer, a concrete blast, a pulverizing
wallop. Move your furniture and smash your nasty demons.
