English band from St Albans, Hertfordshire, England

This St Albans trio started as a post-hardcore band called First Day Back before reinventing themselves around Kompakt techno, Prince, and lush shoegaze melodies — their 2008 self-titled debut landed a Mercury Prize nomination. You locked in during early 2009 and rode that album hard through the year, came back for scattered bursts in 2010 and 2012, then let it drift until a surprise August 2020 surge brought Friendly Fires roaring back; "Jump in the Pool" and "Paris" still hit.
