About this album

Friends is a polished late-period statement from The Easybeats, showing the group moving beyond their garage-rock roots into more melodic pop-rock songwriting. Issued in 1970, it reflects the band’s shift towards a smoother, more reflective sound after their earlier hit-making years, with tighter arrangements and a stronger emphasis on harmony and songcraft. The title track and songs such as St. Louis and Watching The World (Go By) underline the album’s polished, rueful tone. Though not as celebrated as their mid-1960s singles, Friends remains an important document of one of Australia’s most influential bands in transition.
