Her Next Friend is pleased to announce the release of their third Antipoison Records CD, Disaster Casual. This eight-song recording is a departure for the Northern Virginia-based rock band, both heavier and more melodic than their earlier efforts. The songs are lyrically pointed and musically rich, reflective of a seasoned band thatâs still evolving as a unit after two prior CDs.

New drummer Alex Kuldellâfresh from the U.S. Armyâs Fife and Drum Corpsâkicks the sound into a higher gear. Additional flavor comes from another newcomerâkeyboardist Ariel Francis. Singer/guitarist John Burtonâs darkly humorous lyrics (available on www.hernextfriend.com) continue his tradition of wry, cynical observation and the production reflects the bandâs long-standing relationship with producer/engineer Mike Harvey of Actiondale Studios. This recording is HNFâs most fully realized yet, and is in many ways the CD the band has been trying to make from the beginning.

Prior HNF releases received extensive airplay on college and internet radio stations, including WXDU, Radio Puget Sound, WKNC, WRIR, WBRS, XM Radio, WWUH, Radio Indie Pop, WTHS, Radio Crystal Blue and Radio Free Abattoir.

Bassist John Rapoza has played with The Beanstalk Library and Union Label, among others. Burton has played with Forever Goldrush and Chicken Biscuit, while Kuldell is also a veteran of the noted Celtic rock band Scythian.
