without God i am nothing but dirt.

Emerging from the creative hotbed of Athens, GA, Family And Friends built a loyal grassroots following through high-energy live shows and heartfelt, anthemic songwriting. Their music has always been anchored in emotional honesty—evolving from the raw nostalgia of XOXO and Love You Mean It to the cinematic introspection of Felix Culpa, each release marking a distinct chapter in the band’s sonic journey.

Their latest album, Kid Spirit (out May 2023), opens a fresh and vibrant new chapter. Recorded at Gift Horse Studios, the record trades heavy introspection for a more playful, carefree energy—blending shimmering synths, kinetic grooves, and infectious melodies. It’s a collection built for golden hour hangs, windows-down road trips, and spontaneous city nights.

With Kid Spirit, the band steps confidently into uncharted territory - continuing to expand their sound while staying true to the emotional core that’s always defined them. It’s a record that invites listeners to lean into the moment, turn the volume up, and find joy in the journey.
