New Friends

Calgary, AB

New Friends brings together dissonant noise, effortless, long-winded guitar melodies, hard hitting drums and beautiful vocals. The songs performed by this band were crafted over a period of about 10 years in the bedroom of local ding-dong Evan Van Reekum, and are now being supplemented by Calgary dreamboat Ryan Von Hagen - and local mega-ultra babe Kaelen Ohm. Just a few New Friends.
