Mr. Nice Guy by Friend is not just an album; it's a wild, electrifying journey through the uncharted territories of Goblin Punk. Hailing from Philadelphia, Friend injects a fresh dose of punk rock ethos into the scene with their experimental sound. With 13 tracks that defy conventions and challenge norms, this album is a testament to the band's fearless approach to music-making. From the infectious energy of Braces to the raw intensity of Wakeuptimetodie, each song pulsates with a rebellious spirit that demands attention. Friend's music is not just heard; it's felt deep in the bones, igniting a fire within listeners to break free from the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. So why should you buy Mr. Nice Guy? Because it's not just an album--it's a manifesto for those who refuse to conform, a sonic rebellion against the status quo, and a reminder that in a world of uniformity, it's okay to be beautifully, unapologetically different.
