Clash Premiere: The Family Rain – Friction

Brotherly trio match the hype...

There's no greater bond than the relationship which exists between brothers. Matching those family ties to something which exists beyond friendship, at times it can seem that brothers have a near telepathic means of communication.

It's certainly something evident in The Family Rain. Formed by three brothers living under the same roof in Bath, the band's taut yet ragged take on indie rock has found labels squabbling over their signature.

Hooking up with Jim Abiss to record their debut album, the trio are set to break cover this summer. Confirming plans for a lengthy tour, the shows will climax with The Family Rain releasing their debut album.

Ahead of this, though, the three piece are gearing up for the release of a new single. 'Friction' is the perfect introduction – short, sharp and to the point it encapsulates the group's easy-going charm.

Watch it now.
