US musical group
Best Fwends are a musical group from Fort Worth, Texas .[ 1] All but unknown in the United States, the duo have attracted much more notice in Europe , having been featured in a Bacardi commercial in the United Kingdom [ 2] [ 3] and performing at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík and Øyafestivalen in Norway .[ 4] [ 5] The song featured in the Bacardi ad is "Bedroom Music" and was the first song the group ever recorded.[ 6] They have also been featured at SXSW .[ 7] They have released one full-length album and two EPs on Moshi Moshi Records .
When performing live, they use only their voices and an iPod .[ 8] [ 9] Difficult to categorize, their music is often compared to early Beastie Boys ,[ 10] and has been called punk .[ 8] [ 11] The band, however, claim to not be talented enough to have a "sound."[ 6] They are reported to use FL Studio in studio.[citation needed ]
Recently, they recorded musical scores for several cartoons produced by Frederator Studios , including Bravest Warriors , SuperF*ckers and Our New Electrical Morals .
