Firefriend began shaping their own blend of heavy, hypnotic psychedelia, space rock, and shoegaze when Julia Grassetti and Yury Hermuche met in 2005 in Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil. Over the following two decades, the band built a reputation for intense live performances and prolific studio output, releasing twelve LPs across the United States and the United Kingdom, with labels Little Cloud Records (US) and Cardinal Fuzz (UK).
In 2025 the band completed a six-date England run in support of their latest releases, FUZZ and BLUE RADIATION, ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐๐ก ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐จ๐ง ๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฒ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ.

Echoes of Distant Stars are a Psychedelic Space Rock band from Newcastle Upon Tyne. Formed in early 2025, the band blends influences from kosmiche, prog rock, folk and psych. In parts delicate and melodic, in others heavy and cacophonous, other parts weird and ethereal, the three piece of Alex Johnston (Drums), Tom Astley (Guitar), and Dave Molnar (Bass) have brought to life a panoply of long-form, semi-improvised concept pieces.
Debut album โTower of Echoesโ explores two worlds through two all-encompassing 21-minute tracks. Anomos navigates the brutal binaries of a planet of rock and sand, desolate but for the ghosts that hover just above the plains. Archon navigates the dark pathways around the Tower of Echoes, a space in which folk stories, myths and secrets stalk the landscape. Through thundering drums, melodic bass motifs, and whorling fuzz-laden guitar, Echoes of Distant Stars take the listener on a sonic trip through space. The album was released via Weird Beard (UK) and Echodelick Records (US)
In 2026, Echoes of Distant Stars have supported Helicon, Myrrors, Dead Sea Apes, Sunset Images and Julieโs Haircut.
