The Dardi Shades är en femmanna indiepopgrupp från Camden i Australien. De hade nyligen en succé med singeln Yeah you’re young och nu är det dags för herrarna att följa upp med den härligt medryckande singeln Best friend. Så var beredd på härlig melodi och energi när australiensarna går in mot sommar – och vi mot vinter.

Patterson i bandet berättar:

”The narrative in Best friend is fictional, however it is inspired by behavior we all at some point or another become privy to; whether it be as an observer or even as a victim.
Best friend quite simply follows the story of a person (written from a male perspective) who has feelings for a girl who is currently in a toxic and abusive relationship with someone else. The story pleads with the girl to understand her worth and realize that she deserves, and can in-fact achieve someone better, and that in this case the protagonist will show her the warranted affection she deserves. The chorus is an anthem about throwing caution to the wind through the playfully harmless offer of solace that is simply ”hey it’s the weekend, don’t worry cause I will be your best friend.””
