about

The Frictions are an American/Slovenian rock & roll combo formed in 2006. They play rock music distilled to its basic essence: electric guitar (left) / electric guitar (right) / bass / drums. It is music crafted from the simple faith that noisy, hypnotic songs played with conviction by 4 guys in a room, are more than enough. Music for drunken nights and deserted highways.

The band features Chris Eckman from Seattle legends The Walkabouts (voice & guitar), Bernard Kogovšek (guitar) and Tomi Popit (bass) from Hic et Nunc and Luka Salehar (drums) from Kamerad Krivatoff. In 2011 they released their debut album “Halogen Sky” and have shared stages with artists like Mudhoney, Steve Wynn, The Bambi Molestors and Vlado Kreslin; and have played not only in Slovenia, but also in Germany, Italy, Austria and throughout The Balkan region.

The Frictions second album “Torch” was released in April 2019.
Again, recorded live and without pretense, the band’s vision now also incorporates post-punk textures (think Wire) and abstract instrumental passages. Much is different and much remains the same.
