There is an energy in the city of Chicago that is unmissable, unmistakable. It’s how a band like Friko exist. The band played their first set of South By with the type of urgency and energy that few bands match. The singer, Niko, uses his guitar-playing to drive the point home that his words demand your immediate attention. The emotion pouring out of him guides the rest of the band, who equally match his intensity. If you grew up on the earnestness and playfulness of 2000’s indie packed with an emotional gut punch, Friko is the band for you. There is no mistaking their singular voice.
