Sweden’s premier emo band, Tribe Friday, is bringing their sophomore album, Hemma, to every alternative fan who needs to feel a little closer to places that shaped them.

Following up their shimmering and sonically sweet debut, the quartet are tuning into their true-to-from emo roots, pulling back the bright instrumentals slightly, but not sacrificing their signature ethereal vocal styling. With singles preceding Hemma such as “Swimsuit” and “Day… Read more »

It encaptures LØLØ’s “take-no-prisoners” attitude and fiery writing perspective through fun vocal delays and unexpected harmonies. Just take a look at… Read more »
