BIOGRAPHY

Friedberg is an all-female four-piece band based in London, led by the talented singer, guitarist, and cowbell enthusiast, Anna Friedberg. Their music blends post-punk and alt-rock with infectious pop sensibilities, creating a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique.

The band made a strong debut in 2019 with their single BOOM, which features a dissonant riff paired with Anna’s seductive vocals. Their follow-up track, Go Wild, quickly gained traction, securing placements in FIFA 20, the BBC’s adaptation of Normal People, Netflix’s Biohackers, and more.

In 2021, Friedberg released their debut EP, YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH (March 19th), which includes standout singles Pass Me On, Lizzy, and Midi 8. The EP was recorded across Berlin and London with key collaborators Daniel Brandt (Brandt Brauer Frick), Matthias Biermann (Roosevelt), and Matt Allchin (Florence & The Machine, Soak, George Ezra). The album offers a punchy, fuzzed-out exploration of Anna Friedberg’s creative vision.

With strong radio and press support across Europe, Friedberg has quickly gained recognition as one of the most exciting new bands. They’ve performed at prestigious festivals such as Reeperbahn, Eurosonic, and BBC Introducing, solidifying their growing reputation.

In 2022, they released the single Never Gonna Pay The Rent, further establishing their dynamic presence in the music scene.

Friedberg’s combination of gritty alt-rock and catchy pop hooks continues to captivate audiences, and their unique sound is setting them apart as a standout act in today’s music landscape.
