Canadian rockers Nameless Friends are releasing their new song Mezzanine in promotion of their latest deluxe album and their ongoing UK tour.
Nameless Friends – Mezzanine
Hailing from Canada, this unique group embraces a distinctive ethos by forgoing traditional names in favour of stage numbers to maintain their collective identity and egalitarian ideology. The primary lineup features Number One (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Number Three (lead guitar and backing vocals), Number Five (bass), and Number Seven (drums). Their extended group includes Number Four (a retired drummer who appears in their videos), Number Six (a keyboardist who played a significant role in promoting their latest album), and Number Two (a backup bassist and sound engineer aspiring to become a permanent member).
In 2023, they released their debut album, Blasphemy, which addressed contemporary social issues such as right-wing bigotry, gendered violence, climate change, and economic inequality. During the promotional tour for this album, Nameless Friends received acclaim for their live shows, which some attendees felt surpassed the recorded versions.
Recently, the band announced a deluxe version of Blasphemy, featuring live versions, remixes of their first two singles, and a new track titled Mezzanine. This single shares its name with their debut EP as an inside joke about their disdain for title tracks and explores the twisted nature of performance.
Mezzanine opens with a cold, poignant guitar that creates an enigmatic atmosphere before exploding into a strikingly intense rock tour de force. With crushing drums, powerful riffs, and Number One’s uncanny vocal delivery, this track guarantees to keep you headbanging all night long. The result is an absolute banger, delivered with engaging theatrical flair.
Mezzanine is a powerful and evocative rock tune, distinguished by its mesmerizing artistic eccentricity.
In addition to the deluxe version of Blasphemy, set for release in September, Nameless Friends are on their first-ever UK tour, aptly named ‘Cross The Pond.’ Be sure to check out their upcoming dates:
