[INTERVIEW] Getting Candid with Friko

We’re getting candid in our interview with Friko. Friko is the duo Nike Kapetan and Bailey Minzenberger hailing from Chicago’s long lineage of DIY and indie rock music. Their debut album Where We’ve Been, Where We Go From Here came out earlier this year and sees the band merging elements of post-punk and chamber-pop and experimental rock. The band is headed out on tour across the U.S. with Royel Otis this fall and will also be headlining in the UK later this year. We talk to frontman Niko about how he and Bailey collaborate as multi-instrumentals in the songwriting process, how the band is setting out to make the world a better place through music, and how Niko is challenging himself to write more honest lyrics that encapsulate the highs and lows of life.
