Friendship

**Friendship** is a Philadelphia-based indie rock band that’s been crafting thoughtful, genre-blurring tunes since forming in 2014. Led by songwriter Dan Wriggins, the group—rounded out by Peter Gill, Mike Cormier-O’Leary, and Jon Samuels—mixes alt-country twang with lo-fi grit and poetic lyricism. Their music often feels like a late-night conversation with an old friend, balancing raw vulnerability with dry humor. Over the years, they’ve released standout albums like *Shock Out of Season* (2017) and *Love the Stranger* (2022), earning nods for their intimate storytelling and offbeat charm.

Known for their DIY spirit, Friendship has collaborated with indie labels like Orindal Records and Paradise of Bachelors, and they’ve toured with acts like Big Thief. Recent tracks like *Ugly Little Victory* and *Clairvoyant* showcase their knack for turning everyday moments into quietly profound anthems. Whether leaning into sparse folk or fuzzy rock, Friendship’s sound feels both timeless and refreshingly unpretentious—a testament to their commitment to keeping it real.
