This Song Is Yours

We've got the guys from Horror My Friend joining us this Friday! The Adelaide trio returned earlier this year with new single 'Devotion" and a new sound that builds on their previous fuzz-rock sonics with elements of shoegaze and electronica being added to the mix. After wrapping up a national tour recently, the guys are preparing for a busy 2022. In today's episode, we're speaking with Tom, Josh, and Sam from the band about how a guitar pedal inspired the new single, their brilliant live shows, and we try to find out what the rest of the year has in store for the band.
