Kentucky four-piece Fast Friends are a hidden treasure of the emo scene. So far, this band has remained pretty under-the-radar outside their home state but that should all change this year, with a new album (recorded and produced by the band themselves) on the horizon.

This band fits in perfectly with the likes of Prawn, Into It. Over It. and their peers. Check out ‘Better Part Of A Year’ and see for yourself. (Also, an incredible dog named Chief features heavily in most of their photos, so what’s not to love?)
