	~~'''~~Friction~~'''~~ was ~~an American punk / proto~~-~~punk~~ band ~~based in Cleveland~~, ~~Ohio~~, ~~active circa 1976-77~~. ~~The group featured musicians who were key figures in~~ the ~~early Cleveland underground~~ rock and punk~~/avant~~-~~rock scene~~.		== History ==
			Friction was part of the mid-1970s Cleveland underground rock scene. The band featured guitarist and songwriter Peter Laughner alongside Sue Schmidt, Debbie Schmidt, and drummer Anton Fier. Their sound bridged the gap between raw garage rock and the emerging punk style, and they are often mentioned in connection with other influential Cleveland-area acts of the era.

	~~== '''History''' ==~~		The group’s lifetime was short and most of their activity pre-dated widespread independent releases, so documentation of their gigs and recordings is limited. Live tapes, rehearsal recordings, and later archival appearances circulate among collectors of the Cleveland proto-punk scene.
	~~Friction~~ was ~~formed in Cleveland in 1976~~, ~~within the city’s burgeoning punk~~ and ~~garage rock movement~~. ~~The band featured songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Peter Laughner~~, ~~alongside guitarist/vocalist Sue Schmidt (also credited as Susan Schmidt)~~, ~~bassist Debbie Smith (credited also as Deborah Smith)~~ and ~~drummer Anton Fier. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}~~
	~~Their sound blended raw punk energy with experimental and garage rock influences. Though the band’s lifespan was brief, they are recognized within~~ the Cleveland scene ~~as part of the early wave of punk-influenced acts~~.

	== ~~'''~~Discography~~'''~~ ==		== Discography ==
	* (No confirmed full-length release ~~by Friction~~ is ~~widely documented; key~~ archival ~~recordings may exist~~ on ~~compilations or live~~ tapes.)		Friction did not release a widely distributed studio album during their brief existence. Known material is primarily live or archival, appearing on tapes and occasional compilations associated with the Cleveland underground.
	* A session recording from 11 Feb 1976 at Pirate’s Cove, Cleveland lists Laughner, Susan Schmidt, and ~~Debbie Smith on~~ the ~~line-up~~. ~~:contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}~~
