Superfriends Are Online

by Superfriends

Hello! We're Brighton (UK) indie-punks Superfriends, and this is the title track from our new EP "Superfriends Are Online". The song is about long distance friendships and 90s culture, and the title is a little dig at myself for how long I spend scrolling my phone. We hope you like it!

The Trust Fund Kids

Greetings, punks! This is a song that means a lot to me because it's one of the first songs I wrote that I felt truly proud of. It's worth listening to because if you don't I will drink an entire gallon of milk in under a minute. You are liable for whatever happens legally 'cause that's the law.
