| Description: | Common Blah is the debut full-length by Portland, Maine's Weakened Friends. Founded by songwriter Sonia Sturino, drummer Cam Jones, and bassist Annie Hoffman in 2013, the trio is a low pressure outlet for volatile music. Recorded by Hoffman and perfected over the last year, the songs broadcast heavy feelings amid screech and feedback with little more than a distortion pedal the clog up the signal chain. The album also features guest shredding by peer and kindred spirit J Mascis (on the song Hate Mail). - Common Blah is the debut full-length by Portland, Maine's Weakened Friends. Founded by songwriter Sonia Sturino, bassist Annie Hoffman, and drummer Cam Jones in 2015, the trio is a low pressure outlet for emotionally volatile music. Engineered and produced by Hoffman and perfected over the last year, the record broadcasts heavy feelings amid screech and feedback with little more than a distortion pedal to clog up the signal chain. For Sturino, writing in Weakened Friends is more of a physical process than a mental one. "I have to feel the vibration or sound coming out of my body. I need the physicality to do it, to enjoy singing it," she says. "People probably hear the vocals and think, 'she just puts on that weird voice,' but it's really just what comes out. It's my body making that sound."[l387278] is credited as "Zippah Recording - Brighton, MA"
