Friend For A Foe

About Me

Hey everybody, my name is Chris Purvis and I'm 24 ... welcome to my music page for my Friend for a Foe project I've been working on for the past six or so years! All the instrumentation, recording, and production is done by me ... I hope you enjoy it as I'm my own worst critic haha. I've been playing drums since I was thirteen and then moved on to guitar, bass, and piano shortly thereafter. I eventually started getting into production and sound engineering and what you hear now is the result of sheer dedication (and many hours of tedious editing).

Despite this solo approach of complete creative freedom, I've been in multiple bands in multiple countries from the U.K.'s Flatline to Maryland's Earthborn playing everything from guitar to drums supporting local acts and major-label bands. It's been an interesting ride throughout the years with (I hope) many more interesting times to come

Well that's all from me. I hope you enjoy the music and feel free to leave some comments or better yet: Spread the word ;-) Thanks for your time!

People Say Nice Things!

"Friend For A Foe's music is completely brutal and is some of the best stuff we've heard" - As The Kingdom Falls

"Friend for a Foe is a blend of metal, rock, and alternative with a very unique sound that makes you want to rock out because of its intricate riffs and well assembled bridges. Lyrics are not needed, for you can feel all the emotions through the music." -Michelle Ghahary, Music Analyst

"Love it. Intense..." -Katharsis

"Beauty coalesced with brutality. This is what metal is all about. Friend for a Foe delivers hard hitting riffs and melodic interludes, never repeating its assault. So abrasive you'll need to catch your breath." - (un)SAID
