Make Friends

Make Friends began in 2017, formed by a group of friends inspired by the indie-dance-punk of early era Foals’ ‘Antidotes’, and the melodic alt-pop of Bombay Bicycle Club, which the band then fused to form their fresh take on modern indie music. Their debut EP forged fan favourite ‘Ellie’, followed by a string of singles and a second EP in 2021. Much of their work was written over various states of lockdown, which supplied a surprisingly creative climate for the band, with lyrics naturally gravitating towards tackling themes of isolation and mental health. To date, the band have seen strong support from BBC Introducing in the West, with single ‘Fever’ even receiving Radio 1 Airplay, as well as being selected for a live session at the esteemed Maida Vale Studios.
