About Me

One Friend is a Richmond, Virginia based band whose songwriting obsesses on the oft-overlooked moments in one's day or year that really make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Everyone's read the chain letter about the kid that was going home from high school on a Friday to commit suicide when another random kid at the school decided to befriend him when he saw that he was having a rough time. Who knows if its true or not, but it's at least a nice idea with a lot of underlying truth to it. It takes little more than one friend to get you through life and anyone who tries to argue otherwise is full of it. It is sometimes hard to put posessions and stature within society on the back-burner, but everyone eventually comes to grips with the fact that if you don't, you'll just end up burning out or at least on prozac or paxil--yeah, probably paxil. We thank you for your time. Sincerely, One Friend
