The Friends, known in Finland as Ystävät, was a Finnish pop group.
Together with Fredi, they represented Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 in The Hague with the song Pump Pump, which finished in 11th place. Soon after the contest, the group left Fredi and recorded a Finnish version of the winning song of that year, Save Your Kisses For Me.
It is assumed that the group has long since broken up.
