About

Fierce Friend is the solo project of Brighton-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alan Grice. His music centres on strong melodic hooks and fast, loud, guitar-driven songs, mixing humour and exaggeration with raw unease to tell stories of grief, chaos, conflict, and the half-remembered dreams of lost heroes.After years embedded in Brighton’s indie and art-pop scene as a collaborator and instrumentalist, Grice developed a songwriting style that favours direct melodies but allows songs to twist, overload, and stretch beyond neat resolutions.Fierce Friend’s debut album Lies That Comfort You (2018) received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, and his latest work, Blood Red Hills & The Uncanny Valley, pushes into heavier, more hard-edged territory, trading live-band warmth for raw urgency, electronics, and tension.
