Comeuppance!

About Me

New Album Now Available For Purchase Online!
friend factory grew up along the banks of the mississippi. he's always been a prolific storyteller. he spent his youth writing tales about crocodiles on trains and dan quayle travelling through space with rambo whale. he also made hundreds of movies with his friends.
he lives in nyc now and makes noise for a living working as a sound designer. in his spare time he writes songs about everything! he had a band for a few years but everyone quit to go to law school, and he even wrote a song about that.
he loves to rock but he also loves harmonies. catchy melodies ooze out of him almost instinctively.
at this time he has written or co-written over 100 songs, and he can't stop, won't stop. he just wants a chance to bring his tunes to the people of the world!
for more info & lots more music, check out the friend factory website
if you're feeling nostalgic, check out friend factory's old band, teddy roosevelt & the rough riders, at the teddy website or the teddy myspace page
