Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

With genre bending anthems translated through impactful and relatable emotions, New Friends are reinventing the standard for what popular musiccan be. As a product of their childhoods, they are nostalgic for the bands they loved growing up and continue to emulate those influences with a modern twist.

When Stefan Boulineau, Ayden Miller, Cole Wilson and Conrad Galecki crossed paths as music students in late 2018, the group clicked instantly and began working on demos in dorm rooms in London, Ontario. It didn’t take long until their hook-filled debut single, Purple Candy was out in the world. Reaching over 3.5 million streams on Spotify and climbing. They were recently announced winners of the "It's YourShot" contest in Canada worth $100,000 in Artist Development.

With a charismatic frontman in Boulineau who displays dreamy originality in his voice, metaphorical yet relatable lyrics from Miller, rich guitar melodies from Wilson, and production magic + class writing from Galecki, New Friends is rapidly becoming a recognized sound around the world.
