The Portland, ME trio returns with Feels Like Hell, their most self-assured and emotionally charged record yet. Despite the title, the album is a celebration of personal growth, creative freedom, and defiant joy in the face of a chaotic world.Coming off the burnout and frustration captured in their 2021 album Quitter, Feels Like Hell finds Sonia Sturino (vocals/guitar), Annie Hoffman (bass/vocals), and Adam Hand (drums) leaning into clarity, gratitude, and renewed purpose. Sturino's lyrics are as raw and honest as ever, but now they reflect strength rather than despair. It's an album that drags existential dread into the daylight and sets it on fire."I decided to stop being such a sad-sap negative person," Sturino says. "Now I practice being grateful, being proud, being happy, and not being envious." That mindset shift shapes the tone of Feels Like Hell, which looks at darkness but chooses not to be consumed by it.The record also marks the band's first foray into co-writing, with Hoffman playing a significant role in shaping it's sound. Embracing a more intuitive recording process, the trio stripped back the excess and focused on what felt right. The result is a record that's resilient, cathartic, and brimming with creative energy.While the world may still feel like it's falling apart, Feels Like Hell pulses with the power of letting go. Letting go of fear, of perfectionism, of the illusion that vulnerability is weakness. With driving guitars, unflinching lyrics, and a renewed sense of purpose, Weakened Friends prove that it's possible to stand in the wreckage and still find something worth singing about.
