In 2025 Bristol-based band, **Make Friends** release their new single 'Hand-Delivered', as
part of their 'How Do You Know?β' EP, set to drop later in the year.
The band were formed after being collectively inspired by the indie-dance-punk of early
era Foals' 'Antidotes', and melodic alt-pop of Bombay Bicycle Club. The band continue
to bring their fresh take on modern indie music and their debut EP forged fan favourite
'Ellie', followed with 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..
With the help of Ed Nash (Bombay Bicycle Club) at the helm as producer and co-writer,
Make Friends' began work on their βLoaded Funβ EP, released in 2024, and continuing to
solidify their presence as frontrunners of the UK Indie scene. The EP received further
support from Radio 6, BBC Introducing and beyond, with Single βMaybe Tomorrowβ being
selected as part of their best of 2024 roundup, and lead single βLoaded Funβ appearing
on ITVβs FA Cup roundup.
