Friedberg

In the artist's words:

With their unmistakable alt-pop style, Friedberg expand their sonic palette on their debut album "Hardcore Workout Queen": psychedelic influences, dance-punk and cowbells blend into a vibrant soundscape, often with irresistible, pop-heavy hooks. The result? An electrifying debut album that sounds unmistakably like Friedberg. Frontwoman Anna Friedberg describes it as "an endless road trip with no fixed destination." The debut album is full of songs made for road trips with your best friends - the kind of road trips where deep conversations are the order of the day and you discuss your innermost feelings over rest stop snacks and warm fizzy drinks. The kind of road trip you never want to end.

Friedberg was formed in 2019 by Austrian-born, London/Berlin-based Anna (writer, vocals, guitar, cowbells and percussion) and is completed by Emily Linden (guitar, vocals), Cheryl Pinero (bass, vocals) and Laura Williams (drums). Friedberg's first success was the single "Go Wild" - a huge hit that was featured on the FIFA 2020 soundtrack and in the BBC series Normal People - and their debut EP "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah", a razor-sharp collection of songs designed for the live stage.
