Best Fwends: Alphabetically Arranged
Sometime last summer I got an email from a nice guy named Anthony from Austin (or was it Denton or was it Fort Worth?) Texas. I think he's a Texas nomad. Anyways, Anthony was asking about the availabilty of some old Wolfie lyrics. The reason he was asking was because his group, Best Fwends, was going to cover a Wolfie song called "Getting the Reach that I Need." Since I didn't write the lyrics for the song (Joe Ziemba did) and didn't have any of the lyrics handy, I wasn't of much help. However, Anthony sent me their instrumental version of the song sped up and bashed out on only keyboards. Anytime anyone takes the time to cover a song you've been a part of you tend to get just that much more interested in what they're doing musically! I kept my eyes on Best Fwends and became a quick fan of their immediate and thrashy bashed-up and broken pop songs. Btw, Best Fwends is a duo. The other is an equally positive dude named Dustin.

Shortly after our first contact Best Fwends explained that their debut album was in the works and that they had a song called "Comforter" that they'd recorded sans vocals and needed a little extra input. I happily accepted their offer, wrote and recorded lyrics to the song and some other peripheral sounds and shot it back to them. All involved parties were happy with the outcome. And now the complete album is available to you, the public!
