Comprising two musical idiot savants from Austin Texas Best Fwends make heavily punk-influenced spazzy-electro-pop, however the band themselves claim to not be talented enough to have a 'sound'.
Recorded during their most severe periods of sleep deprivation using a cheap computer and anything else that happens to be lying around, Best Fwends grabbed the attention of the Moshi Moshi label who released the 2007 album 'Alphabetically Arranged', not to mention Bacardi who used Best Fwends first ever bedroom recording for their 2006 television commercial. Following the "we don't need a stage" ethic of The Death Set, Lightning Bolt and the Coachwhips, Best Fwends can be found in basements the world over wearing nothing but their underwear and screaming in the faces of unsuspecting teenagers.
You can check out more recordings by Best Fwends on their MySpace page.
