California’s eclectic funk-rockers JUST FRIENDS have released their hotly-anticipated fourth full-
Previously released singles Life I’m Living In, Better 2 Be Around and JUMP showcase the band’s incredibly diverse sound that incorporates elements of power-pop, punk, funk and hip-hop. The seven-piece finds their infectious groove with a truly unique sound provided by Sam Kless (vocals/guitar/percussion), Brandon Downum (vocals/guitar), Matt Yankovich (guitar), Kevin Prochnow (bass), Avi Dey (trumpet, percussion), Ben Donion (drums) and the inimitable Brianda “Brond” Goyos Leon (vocals).
With Gusher’s release, the band is highlighting the record’s lead track Zaza In The Sun :-).

Commenting on the track, Brond says: “If the feeling of going to the block party with your lover were a song, it’d be Zaza in the Sunshine :-). Smiley face and everything! Zaza is sunshine in a bottle. A good ass skate with your crew in the summer. The sound of friendship, love, and going down the water slide. Holding hands and spinning real fast with your bestie at the festie.
“I had a moment during recording Zaza’ when I realized my childhood dreams had come true! I didn’t get to join the school band growing up because we couldn’t afford instrument rental fees. Looking back, I guess I never let that stop me because I spent every scrap of alone time giving fantasy performances in my head-singing into my hairbrush or an invisible mic. I thought I was playing pretend, but really, I was practicing how to perform. I watched Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, HSM, Cheetah Girls (the entire series) and Pixel Perfect a billion times each. If you know their songs and you listen to Zaza, you’ll notice there’s a euphoric Disney Rockness to the final chorus. It was listening back to that joyful carelessness, the hands-up-on-the-roller-coaster feelings I get from Zaza, that knocked my dormant younger self awake and she. was. stoked!”
JUST FRIENDS will embark on a North American tour later this month alongside YOUNG CULTURE, SAD PARK, SAVE FACE and ODD SWEETHEART.

AMNPLIFY – DB
CLICK THE PIC TO VIEW THE NEWS
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
