Weakened Friends are a 3-piece from Maine whose brand of indie rock revolves around the distinctive vocals of songwriter and frontwoman Sonia Sturino. This release comprises of two EPs smushed together, hence the title, but it pretty much feels like an album.
Melodic but brash, the band plays with gusto, careering on at a fair pace without really veering into punk territory. I wish the lyrics were more socially aware, but being personal / relationship-focused as they are is in keeping with the poppier sensibilities here..
It may not exactly be original, but the songs are catchy, the sound is different enough to distinguish the band from their peers, and it's certainly a record I often come back to.
