Friction Land

Friction Land is the reincarnation of a previous

band known as Friction. 

Friction was the brainchild of Mark Tyrrell,

Friction guitarist, and the band lasted

roughly from '00 -'06.

Many of the songs from the recently released

Friction Land album were originally written

back in the days of Friction by Mark; lyrically

the music was written with philosophy,

relationship strife, and angst as the main roots.

The instrumentation tends to reflect the current

rock music from that time. 

Bassist Jayme Sanchez and drummer Justin Stokes

were both in the original Friction at one point

or another.

In the spring of 2010, both were asked

to participate in Frictions latest

reincarnation;

mutual friend Johnny Abreu was

brought in as vocalist. 

They joined forces and reinstated the name

Friction as their moniker, and began working on

and developing Marks songs.  A sprinkling of new

songs were crafted as well, and these all

eventually would become the tracks that make

up their first full length album.

Not wanting to be confused with a host of other

bands named Friction, the group underwent a

change of identity, becoming Friction Land. 

The Friction Land album was released in March of

2012.

Friction Land is currently working on promoting

their album and continuously working on new

material, both nuggets from Mark's back

catalogue, in addition to some completely fresh

and new. All are exciting for the group, and they

hope to be releasing these new tunes as singles

and videos and plan on doing so sooner, rather

than later.
