pill friends were a cool band
i first heard of them while scrolling tumblr in 2014 or something
i can't describe them right now, if you're reading this you've probably listened to them already
i am saddened to hear of Ryan's passing
pill friends have been the soundtrack to so many different points in my life
be it laying on the floor in tears because i've been broken up with
to years later driving to my college orientation while the sun rises behind me
to shortly after dropping out and moving back home with my girlfriend
i feel obligated to describe their music to you
though it'll be lackluster
some of their songs sound "gothy"
you decide what that means
they've got some incredible basslines
they're incredibly moody at times
sarcastic at others
i don't know i'm bummed
i'd have to say my favorite song of theirs is "samael" off of
they've covered modest mouse and xiu xiu
i feel drained
it isn't about me
when artists we enjoy speak about their own mental health so openly it makes us feel bulletproof
because these people who struggle just like we do
are still breathing
so when those people stop breathing
especially at a young age
it puts your own mental health in perspective
i shouldn't feel so down about someone i've never met dying
ryan left behind a child
there is a trust fund being set up through sales of pill friends records
if you haven't listened to them, please do, and if you enjoy, please buy a record
here is pill friend's bandcamp, give them a listen
