Tribe Friday sign with Icons Creating Evil Art, release new single 'Swimsuit' March 10 before heading to SXSW

Swedish bubblegum emo-pop band Tribe Friday release new single “Swimsuit”. As the first step into the Tribe Friday’s 2023 realm and mastered by Stephen Marcussen (The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Cher), Swimsuit is a song about survivor's guilt. The track details the signs one would later see when reflecting on loss and examining one’s role in the situation. Starting from the seed of a catchy guitar riff, the song looks back in order to be a better friend going forward, with pop heart and soul through each strum. The introspective track precedes their upcoming US performances, hitting New York City, Los Angeles and this year’s South by Southwest Music Festival. In May the band will embark on a German tour (see dates attached below).

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 EarmilkAlternative PressAmerican SongwriterAtwood Magazine 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
