Dance takedown with Friendly Fires

My spotify, cd player, and YouTube have been abuzz with my new music obsession -- FRIENDLY FIRES, electronic dance funk shoegaze. You can dance to these tracks as well as relate to the prolific lyrics. In one of my favorite tracks, "Skeleton Boy," Ed McFarlane writes about a break up, keeping the good memories, and leaving the bad relationship.
"your too much , i take it that we're over, or should we even care at all, you're too much lets shake hands and say goodbye, your love is out believing despite the loss, give me your hand lets face this night and see it through"
Meeting in the year 1989, the UK trio Ed McFarlane, Jack Savidge, and Edd Gibson began as a hardcore punk cover band, staying together until university and taking a break. They reunited after graduating and rose to become chart toppers with TV perfomances on some of UKs top channels. A large break happened for the band when they were featured on Ninetendo and Playstation games in 2007. In 2008 the band finally released their self titled album and magic was made readily available to the masses!!
I love this band, their energy, beats, and lyrics -- it's meaningful, beautiful, and dancetastic all at the same time.
I hope you enjoy these guys as much as I do. Do yourself a huge musical favor and find Friendly Fires on Spotify, Google or YouTube -- delve into some more tracks (Lovesick being a HUUGGGE suggestion lol) I think you will be very pleased.
