In 2025 Bristol-based band, Make Friends release their new single 'Hand-Delivered', as part of their 'How Do You Know?’' 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. To date, the band have seen strong support from BBC Introducing in the West, with stand-out singles 'Falter' + 'Fever' receiving Radio 1 Airplay, culminating in Make Friends being selected for a live session at the esteemed Maida Vale Studios. With the help of Ed Nash (Bombay Bicycle Club) at the helm as producer and co-writer, Make Friends' began work on their ‘Loaded Fun’ EP, released in 2024, and continuing tosolidify their presence as frontrunners of the UK Indie scene. The EP received furthersupport from Radio 6, BBC Introducing and beyond, with Single ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ beingselected as part of their best of 2024 roundup, and lead single ‘Loaded Fun’ appearingon ITV’s FA Cup roundup
