Weakened Friends

Fuzz rock trio Weakened Friends (featuring alumna bassist/vocalist Annie Hoffman) plays music that is catchy, moody, candid, and to-the-point. The group’s live performances—relentlessly energetic and unapologetically loud—cast an immediate and cathartic pull onto anyone within earshot. The Le Sigh said “The band’s choruses are as big as their hearts and singing along seems less like an option and more of a primordial urge,” and Vanyaland praised the band’s “upbeat, supercharged songs that lyrically reflect the confusion and chaos of modern life.”
