Weakened Friends are a fuzzed-out, high-energy indie rock trio from Portland, Maine, known for their punchy hooks, raw lyricism, and loud, cathartic live shows. Led by songwriter/guitarist Sonia Sturino, with Annie Hoffman on bass and Adam Hand on drums, the band channels a mix of 90s alt-rock nostalgia and modern emotional intensity.
At a time when numbness prevails and singers whisper apathy rather than scream their feelings, Feels Like Hell offers a compelling antidote. Sonia sings about everything threatening to K*ll the spirit—deep nihilism in the face of global capitalism—with the kind of spirit that can’t be killed. Sonia’s vocals imagine better worlds, ones free of restraint or surveillance. There’s no self-censorship here—Sonia isn’t afraid to scream until their throat is raw, and Annie isn’t afraid to bass solo through the apocalypse. Leaning into rock and post-pop-punk with heart and reverence, they perform with a freedom many feel bereft of today.
