Details:
Friends or Enemies, One Story Below's debut album, is a sonic anthology of emotional experiences and lessons learned. Equal parts Silverchair, Goo-Goo Dolls, and Dashboard Confessional, Friends or Enemies combines provocative lyrics with unpretentious guitars for a simple, pure sound. OSB offers honest, uncompromising observations about the duality of life reflected in brooding verse.

Stories about growing up in modern America and the hard choices to be made resonate throughout Friends or Enemies. Songs like "Ghost and the Grasshopper" and "Ivy to Ashes" sound out about the trials of relationships with the passion of a poet's elegy, highlighted by dizzying vocals and guitars. "Godspeed" offers a candid look at an uncertain world with lyrics that refuse to be forgotten. Other epics like "Rain" and "Godspeed" blend mature themes with pop sensabilities that make for the kind of songs that beg to be heard over and over again. OSB explores ideas like alienation, coming-of-age, and triumph through a vehicle of easy, flowing arrangements.

As an optimistic, modern poet, OSB filtered notebooks and notebooks of verse into music that expresses the joys and pains of trying to find his way through turbulent times. Inspired by a wide range of artists, spent more than a year cutting Friends and Enemies. The result is an amalgam of candid, emotional outpourings and a comfortable rock sound.
