Friedberg
Formed in 2019 by the Austrian-born, London/Berlin-based Anna (writer, vocals, guitar, cowbells and percussion), Friedberg is completed by Emily Linden (guitar, vocals), Cheryl Pinero (bass, vocals) and Fifi Dewey (drums). ‘Hardcore Workout Queen’ builds on Friedberg’s early success with their single ‘Go Wild’ – a runaway hit that featured on the FIFA 2020 soundtrack, and in BBC's Normal People – and their stellar debut EP ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah’, a razor-sharp collection of belters designed for the live stage. Bringing together their distinctive own-brand of alt-pop, with ‘Hardcore Workout Queen’ Friedberg broaden their sonic palettes: psychedelia, dance punk and beyond all joining the fray, often coupled with huge pop-leaning hooks. The results? An electric debut album that is undeniably Friedberg.
