Weakened Friends - "Peel"

As always, we're thrilled to hear any new music from Weakened Friends. With every new song from Common Blah, their upcoming debut album, the buzz grows stronger making this one of the most anticipated albums of the fall. The latest song, "Peel," starts off reminding me a little of very early Weezer with its crunchy guitar riffs over incredibly catchy melodies. (Since Weezer is no longer using that sound, it's up for grabs and we have no complaints if Weakened Friends decide to try it out...) The riffs get bigger as the song goes on and even show just the slightest hint of metal at one point. It's a huge fun sound that we 100% support!

You can listen to "Peel" below. Weakened Friends's debut album,Common Blah, will be out October 19 on Don Giovanni Records. You can pre-order the album here, including a pretty sweet cd and t-shirt bundle for $24.99. For more on Weakened Friends, check out their website. Current tour dates are below the song.
