Friendly Fires
So you say you like disco, but you’re hesitant to change your name to Stu and start referring to yourself in the third person? Well I’ve got you covered. Friendly Fires makes disco music for those of us who can’t quite get behind the concept of Donna Summer et al.
When I say disco I use that term somewhat loosely. Friendly Fires write tunes that are undeniably dance music, but can also range into the indie rock/pop spectrum. Think Bloc Party, but unpretentious and at their most danceable, and that will give you a good starting point. Like Bloc Party they are a group of British lads who make danceable pop. What separates the two is that Friendly Fires seem to be more interested in being the next New Order or a less dramatic version of Duran Duran than U2.
As usual, I’ll leave you with a bit of disclaimer mixed with a summary: If you’re looking to shake your ass and have fun while retaining your indie cred (for lack of a better term) you can do no better than these gents.
