Feels like hell

Weakened Friends' latest album, "Feels Like Hell," is the sonic equivalent of a rollercoaster ride through a haunted house, with twists and turns that will leave you exhilarated and slightly terrified. The trio, hailing from Portland, Maine, have crafted a collection of songs that perfectly capture the tumultuous emotions of love, loss, and everything in between. Lead vocalist Sonia Sturino's raw, emotive vocals are the driving force behind the album, cutting through the noisy guitars and thunderous drums with a power that demands to be heard. Tracks like "Hate Mail" and "Blue Again" showcase Sturino's ability to balance vulnerability and strength, creating a sound that is both fierce and delicate. The band's grunge-infused rock sound is reminiscent of '90s alt-rock, with distorted guitars and angsty lyrics that will transport you back to the heyday of bands like Nirvana and Hole. But make no mistake, Weakened Friends have a sound that is all their own, blending the nostalgia of the past with a modern twist that feels fresh and exciting. "Feels Like Hell" is a cathartic listen from start to finish, with each song building upon the last to create a cohesive and compelling narrative. Whether you're rocking out in your bedroom or driving with the windows down, this album is sure to leave you feeling simultaneously drained and invigorated. Weakened Friends have truly captured lightning in a bottle with "Feels Like Hell," and it's a ride you won't want to miss.
