The Favors

One Liner: Unknown band from Finneas and Ashe
Wikipedia Genre: No one knows, but likely terrible bedroom pop!
Home: Space and Time

Poster Position: Second Quarter - Line 7

Day: Friday
Both Weekends.

Thoughts:  The initial riff of the initial song made me smile.  This has got to be a famous person, for a band I've never heard of, playing classic rock, with only one 2023 album to their name, to be this high on the poster.  Only 880 monthly listeners, and not a single one of their songs even has a play count listed (which usually means they are under 1,000 streams.  But they are on line seven?  Seriously, is this David Bowie in a wig or something?  Hearing Bowie and Queens of the Stone Age-type psych rock vibes, and I dig it.

There is a British indie rock band on Wikipedia, but it is named The Favours.  But that is not this (I don't think?)  After digging on Reddit for a bit, several people say that this band that is on Spotify is not the real band and instead a new project between Finneas and Ashe is going to drop soon.  Finneas is Billie Eilish's brother.  Ashe, never heard of her.  So, I am actually kind of disappointed that we are not going to get this rad psych rock thing that I have been jamming for a while now.

Going to pause this review and come back to it, being that this is apparently a mystery that needs to unravel (i.e. they need to post some actual music to the world).
