Portland, Maine trio Weakened Friends release Live From Hell, a double-live record recorded at The Sinclair in Boston, MA, following their third album, Feels Like Hell, released last fall.
Blending rock with post-pop-punk energy, Weakened Friends have spent the past ten years building a sound as strong as the bond between them. Vocalist Sonia Sturino originally invited bassist Annie Hoffman to start a new band, and at the time, Annie was dating drummer Adam Hand. Annie and Sonia fell in love, and after the original drummer left, Adam stepped in on drums. Now married, Sonia and Annie continue to make music alongside Adam, with the trio growing through friendship, respect and a shared musical connection.
Live From Hell lives up to its name. It feels like you’re at the barricade waiting for the lights to dim, shoulder to shoulder with other fans, and by the end, you feel like you’ve lived through the show yourself.
Live From Hell is available as a super-limited LP pressing, exclusively through independently owned record stores across the country.
“We’re living in a world where ‘content’ is prioritized over art, where AI is rotting brains and boiling oceans. We’re so sick of it, so this release needed to be as far removed from that narrative as possible. We wanted to create something special and tangible for fans while also supporting the independent record stores that have supported artists like us for decades.”
Sonia Sturino
The accompanying video for ‘Lightspeed (Live)’ was shot by Justin Labaddie and Katya Veber and edited by Bob Sweeney.
