    Young band, with a lot of passion, lot of energy. An addictive album. And that useful thing an almost perfect album to work out to!

    The album is amazing. I'm listening to it already for one month and love it more and more. Visited their concert at San Francisco - so cool and energizing! What I like on CD - it's fresh, interesting, melodic and of course so rhythmic!

  1. Assured, short and ultimately sweet, Friendly Fires is a glib reminder that you don't need an M6 underpass, New York penthouse or guestlist to have an all night disco party, and remind us there's no shame in getting your groove on.
  2. Quite what has held back the milieu of meandering morons that make up the music scenes mid range, mid class, middlemen is probably this intelligent and creative leap; crossing genres and keeping your opus open and fresh.
  3. Friendly Fires songs are all manufactured to a similar formula but there's a whole lab shelf lined with addictive variants.
