Make Friends | London

Gotobeat is proud to present Make Friends at The Waiting Room, London on Friday 27th November 2026.

Bristol-based band Make Friends 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 4-piece 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.

In 2024 Make Friends celebrated the release of their ‘Loaded Fun' EP, with the help of Ed Nash (Bombay Bicycle Club) at the helm as producer and co-writer. Following this, the band began work with Ed on their forth EP ‘Make You Proud’, teased by the release of new singles ‘Hand-Delivered’ and ‘The Ostrich’ in 2025. Make Friends are touring in April 2026, to support the release of this new EP.
