Σ’ ΑΥΤΗ ΤΗ ΓΕΤΟΝΙΑ / IN THIS HOOD (2021)
Friendzone is a Heavy Rock’n’Roll band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in early 2018. They stand out for their characteristic riffs that you’ll find hard to forget, their medium/fast tempo grooves, and their trademark Greek lyrics. Lyrics full of cynicism, that focus on raw materialism and straight-forward ways of expression, thus denying to cope with the metaphorical/poetic language of other stereotypical Greek rock bands. Influenced by the liveliness of late 80’s hard rock, the infectious grooves of old and new stoner rock, and the cult vibes of 70’s heavy metal, they create their own universe, skillfully blending their influences to bring life to a modern musical result.
Their debut, consisting of 10 tracks, was released in the 26th of February. The album invites the listener to follow the band on an adventure, between their city’s gray walls, sunk into the late-night hangouts, the filled town squares, and the infinite dark, empty alleys, where after midnight evil lurks in every corner, where crime thrives, and where drug exchange is basic routine. Inside this urban frenzy, where life is quick and death is slow, the feel of despair and disappointment dominates the ones who partied a little bit too much, stayed awake in the venues the squares and the alleys, with friends that now left them behind. It’s fresh, it’s fast and groovy, it’s epic in it’s own way. This is “In This Hood”.
