The Fridays

Genre: Pop
Country of origin: Malaysia

Influenced by The Beatles' pop sensibilities, the existentialism of The Smiths, the chaos of Sonic Youth and pop culture elements like the art of Jean-Michel Basquait, Edie Sedgwick, Yasmin Ahmad and the literature of Douglas Coupland, The Fridays play pop tunes married with punk influences in all the right places: Indie pop laced with ironic optimism. Touted as the indie scene's best kept secret, browsing the band's body of work is simply an experience. You'll love em. Take our word for it.
