Some bands take years to hone their craft, but Friendly Foes? They were Born Radical. It comes down to the pedigree, really; the band, as you may already know, features Ryan Allen of Thunderbirds Are Now!, Brad Elliott of assorted Detroit bands, and Lizzie Wittman of Kiddo.

Together, they've crafted a debut LP they're calling Born Radical, out digitally (and in a few spots physically) now but due in wide release January 13 from Gangplank Records. The Foes plan to make nice with audiences a few times in the run up to the album's release, so get familiar.
