Tracklist: Best Friends - Surf Bitches

Straight outta surf city Sheffield, are Best Friends a British answer to the lo-fi surf-pop influx from America? There doesn't appear to be any mention of weed or cats, which is a very good start. There may be a few others ploughing this twangy distorted furrow, but these have the ooh-ee-ooh backing vocals, rolling drums and half-hidden carefree echoey vocals right down. Scuzziness allows too many bands to get away with too much shit in the way of lo-fi, but if Spectrals can make a proper breakthrough go of it there's no reason why this lot can't expand from these promisingly fuzzy beginnings.
