Swedish bubblegum emo-pop band, Tribe Friday have released their new single, “Swimsuit” today. Serving as the first step into the Tribe Friday’s 2023 realm, the track touches on survivor’s guilt, detailing the signs one would later see when reflecting on loss and examining one’s role in the situation. Listen to the track, which was mastered by Stephen Marcussen (The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Cher) now below.
The introspective track precedes the band’s upcoming US performances, hitting New York City, Los Angeles and this year’s South by Southwest Music Festival.
Marrying the rugged indie rock dancehall sounds of early 2K with gen Z post-pandemic party vibe bliss, Tribe Friday is a band of guitar slinging emo kids from the woods of Sweden. Their repertoire consists of upbeat songs that speak to self deprecation, identity, confusion, love, death and are anchored by sarcasm, wit and charm.
Previously Featured on Earmilk, Alternative Press, American Songwriter, AtwoodMagazine and more, the group released their debut LP, bubblegum emo, in June 2022 to critical acclaim as they infectiously introduced the world to the Swedish invasion with charting hit “shut me up” (over 1.2M streams to date). Tribe Friday look forward to sharing their sophomore album, titled Hemma, which fans can expect in Fall 2023. For more information, please see below or visit www.tribefriday.com
