Friendly Fires

Friendly Fires, hailing from St Albans, Hertfordshire, are an English indie rock trio known for their infectious blend of new rave and indie dance sounds. Formed in 2006, the band—comprising Ed MacFarlane, Edd Gibson, and Jack Savidge—burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut album in 2008, which was shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Prize. Their music is characterized by its energetic beats and synth-driven melodies, earning them both commercial success and critical acclaim. After a seven-year hiatus, Friendly Fires returned with their third album, "Inflorescent," in 2019, showcasing their enduring talent and cementing their status as leaders in the 80s revivalist genre.
