Best Fwends are a musical group from Austin, Texas. All but unknown in the United States, the duo have attracted much more notice in Europe, having been featured in a Bacardi commercial in the United Kingdomhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbmkDl3Sa0Y and performing with bands such as Bloc Party, Grizzly Bear, of Montreal, !!!, Deerhoof, Trentemøller, Annuals, Buck 65, Loney Dear, Jenny Wilson, Chromeo, Late of the Pier, Lali Puna, Heavy Trash, Ms. John Soda, The Duke Spirit, Prinzhorn Dance School, and Smoosh, among others, at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík. The song featured in the Bacardi ad is "Bedroom Music" and was the first song the group ever recorded. They have also been featured at SXSW.

When performing live, they use only their voices and an iPod. Difficult to categorize, their music is often compared to early Beastie Boys, and has been called punk. The band, however, claim to not be talented enough to have a "sound."
