Friendship Commanders are a heavy duo from Nashville TN. The band is songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Buick Audra and drummer/bassist Jerry Roe. Their fourth album, BEAR, will be released on October 10, 2025 via Magnetic Eye Records. The band members co-produced the project with Kurt Ballou. The first dual single KEEPING SCORE / MELT was released on July 15, 2025 with corresponding music videos. BEAR is an album about belonging—where it occurs and where it absolutely does not. It marks the band's debut as a Magnetic Eye artist. Their third album, MASS, is a concept record about memory, language, and the state of Massachusetts. The ten-track body of work was co-produced, engineered, and mixed by Kurt Ballou at his Salem, MA studio, GodCity. The album is accompanied by a memoir in essays by Buick Audra. Both were released on September 29, 2023. BILL - The Steve Albini Mixes was released on July 22, 2024, revealing the original, previously unreleased analog mixes of FC's second album, BILL. The record was released on what would have been Steve’s 62nd birthday. The single OUTLIVE YOU (Steve Albini Mix) was released on July 1, 2024; it was Steve’s favorite track from the album. Their 2022 EP, RELEASE THE REST, is a limited vinyl compilation of the singles they released throughout the pandemic following their 2020 EP, HOLD ON TO YOURSELF, a collection about being an adult survivor of childhood abuse. Both were mixed by Kurt Ballou. The band released two previous albums; BILL (2018) was recorded at Electrical Audio by Steve Albini, and DAVE (2016) was engineered and produced by the band.  

Haunting pop Grunge an Alternative waltz with the global shift. Each show is a channeling. A channeling of the Great Filter unfolding before us. Psyonic Park is a place between music and consciousness, a wave in the shift. A Psyonic tool is present in the show, a ‘ghost box’ that channels radio frequencies unique to each show. A live show is an experience, less algorithm more transient, ephemeral. Each show is an experience unique to the moment of everyone present. We are two old Pagans channeling the Chicago vibe, trippin’ through the Void, playing in the global death-jam unfolding. On Bass: Keith Lowery foundation vibes extraordinaire. The bottom to the void. On Guitar: Xion, new kid on the block, tryin’ to catch up what he forgot. On Vox: Xion, remembering who he is. In the Void. Cube Out Drums-keys: stems. (Stem cells of programmed consciousness.) Frequency Receiver: Ghost Box with effects that randomly vibes the sonic space. We are old school musicians with a long history of creative journeys in Chicagoland that have joined our past with our present to become the conduits of Psyonic Park. The recordings are captures, of our lives.

Collaborate, Create, Bloviate. This is how we succeed. Wendi Freeman: drums, backup vocal John Llewellyn: lead vocal, guitar, songwriting Scott Niekelski: bass, backup vocal Stevie Weber: guitars, keys. CHICAGO
