London, Ontario indie-pop band New Friends went viral with “Purple Candy,” the first song they ever recorded when they barely knew each other – now at 5.5 million streams and counting. After winning Slaight Music’s $100,000 It’s Your Shot contest, the group went onto develop their sound.
The results of those sessions include “Doomed,” a Y2K dance party themed song all about being self-aware of one’s hazardous and chaotic approach to relationships.
It’s an upbeat and satirical reflection on being reckless that urges listeners to acknowledge the issues in their love lives, smile, and worry about them tomorrow.
Featuring vocals dripping with attitude and confidence, New Friends combine acoustic nostalgia with a bombastic, electrified chorus.
