Fika Recordings

Fika Recordings is an independent music label founded in 2011 by Tom Ashton. With a passion for discovering and sharing new music, Fika Recordings was established to release the kind of music that Tom wanted to hear himself.

Since its inception, Fika Recordings has become known for its diverse roster of talented artists who span various genres. From *indie pop* to *folk* and everything in between, the label prides itself on showcasing unique and innovative sounds.

With a commitment to quality and authenticity, Fika Recordings works closely with each artist to ensure their vision is fully realized. The label's dedication to supporting emerging talent has earned it a reputation as a trusted platform for up-and-coming musicians.

Suggested Friends are an indie rock quartet with a firm grounding in queer identity, fusing DIY punk roots with the interweaving guitars of 90s indie and a sometimes tongue-in-cheek take on the performative masculinity of 80s rock. There’s a tenderness to their songwriting, with lyrics reflecting on cultural malaise, trauma recovery and the banal absurdity of everyday life. Personal politics can come with an incisively dry sense of humour too. Turtle Taxi is their second album and demonstrates just how far they’ve come from the raw, scuzzy sounds of their DIY debut; unrepentant in letting the pop hooks loose. The choruses are big, harmonies frequent, and guitar solos abound - this is a lush, textured leap forward. Suggested Friends are more confident, acknowledging emotional pain and exploring how this affective space elides with a more expansive sense of injustice in the world.
