After a wait of a little over two years since their last EP Crushed, Weakened Friends finally released their full-length debut, and it’s a big one. Everyone has a different way of dealing with life in this bizarre, unravelling time, and Sonia Sturino’s way is writing songs – and thank god for that. There’s a lot going on in the world, the news gets worse and more insane by the day, and somehow we’re just supposed to deal with it and keep our own lives in order too? There’s no roadmap for this shit. The past few years have been difficult for a lot of people to navigate. It’s a song that was at times exactly the song I needed to hear to make sense of the world, and at others too much for me to bear to listen. Album closer “I’ve Got You” was also one of the defining songs of the year for me it’s a beautiful song about Georgia’s father who died of cancer in 2016, just a little over a month after my own dad had done the same.

How to Socialise is partly political, partly deeply personal, and sometimes both at once, exploring Georgia Maq’s friendships, relationships, family, and experiences with abusive contemporaries. It’s a visceral rebuke of the system sexism women in the music industry face, and it also happens to be one hell of a bop. “The Opener” was released as a teaser single, but it really set the tone for the band’s year. That year saw the Australian band visit the States on a summer tour with Cayetana and the US release of their 2016 self-titled debut LP.
