I’m breaking some New Band Day rules with this band, but I say rules be damned! Yes, I am just that rebellious. This band is not brand-spanking new as their debut album, Twist And Hold Til Morning, came out in October last year. But they’re an amazing band, they started in the noughties, and they’re new to me – and them’s the only rules I’m following today.
Steve Hefter And Friends Of Friends from Baltimore make deceptively innocent sounding songs about life, love, ‘bullshit’ and their mom hooking up with – gasp! – a lawyer. Twist And Hold Til Morning has some truly beautiful music and the oddball lyrics are deliciously captivating. Their upbeat mix of folk, country and pretty melodies is bespeckled with lovely flecks of melancholy.
