Playing what we want and leaving our mark!

Overview

Born from a haze of questionable life choices and a shared love for alternative rock, hip-hop, and a genre they invented called “farm emo,” Friends With Benefits is the musical equivalent of sending a "U up?" text at 2 a.m.—unexpected, unfiltered, and absolutely worth it. Hailing from sunny Southern California, this ragtag group of misfits combines sharp wit, NSFW humor, and surprisingly decent musical chops to create a live show that’s as unpredictable as their setlists.
