THE NISH RELEASES THEIR NEW SINGLE ‘FAKE FRIENDS’

Brisbane indie rockers theNISH are thrilled to announce the release of their debut single Fake Friends, available everywhere on July 10th.

True to theNISH’s mission to respark audiences’ love of rock music, Fake Friends embodies the supersonic sound of an indie anthem from its very first jangly guitar riff. Fake Friends will ensure a bold debut for the Brisbane group, with Blur-like bounce, Strokes-esque guitar licks, and Oasis-style irreverence. “Fake Friends is a love letter to the music we grew up idolising. I believe listeners will be hooked, and come along with us once they hear our unique spin on things”, said Mancurian lead guitarist Elliot Wharton. 

Fake Friends’ infectious positivity is emblematic of theNISH’s ‘can-do’ attitude and hustle. At a young age in his native South Africa, drummer Sheldon March put his very first drum kit together using pots and pans, whilst using a novelty pencil to go along with a drum stick he found in a bush. While he was still at school, frontman Liam David built a music publication from nothing, sneaking backstage to snare interviews and pretending to be an older Head Editor while on the phone to the world’s biggest record labels.

Although currently their crowning achievement Fake Friends is not the only highlight for theNISH boys. Liam David previously wrote the soundtrack for Glad Tomorrow, performed to a sold out Powerhouse crowd in Brisbane and received repeated play on ABC Radio National. theNISH have also started their own podcast, aiming to define the music industry in the 21st-century. The podcast struck a chord with the community, and already has special guests lined up for the next six months, including The Red Paintings, GIRLI (UK), Sahara Beck, and Swimsuit Issue.

Fake Friends is the first of a three single launch, with two more NISH songs coming in November and February. theNISH are excited to bring Brisbane their enthralling live show in 2021. 

Fake Friends will be unleashed to the world on July 10th on all streaming services and socials. Please contact theNISH to receive guest list invitations, interviews and promotional copies of debut single Fake Friends
