HARDCORE FRIENDS

Eric Slick and Dom Angelella are infinitely busy - Slick plays drums in Dr. Dog and Angelella writes songs for DRGN KING - but they finally orchestrated the time, nearly a decade into the bands life, to record their debut full-length album, Hardcore Friends. Recorded in five days by Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Joyce Manor) and Kyle Pulley at The Headroom Studios in Philadelphia, Hardcore Friends spans the last ten years of their friendship. Hardcore Friends features unshakeable guitars and genuine lyrics that invoke the likes of Stephen Malkmus and Archers of Loaf. Lithuania is just as capable of writing a dawdling and quiet song, Coronation Day, showing off their softer side with acoustic guitars, synthesizers, and Angelella's mollifying vocals. The album closer Hardcore Friends, features guest vocals from friends Frances Quinlan (Hop Along) and Rachel Browne (Field Mouse).
