Make Friends - 'Maybe Tomorrow'
Make Friends release the last single from their brand new EP 'Maybe Tomorrow' - which sees the band writing with Bombay Bicycle Club's Ed Nash.
The previously unheard song 'Maybe Tomorrow', the frenetic energy of "I Lose, You Lose", the synth-driven "Groans", the EP's exhilarating title track "Loaded Fun" and fan-favourite "Falter". The EP follows the band's July headline at The Old Blue Last playing to an adoring capacity London crowd, along with buzzy performances at Dot To Dot and The Great Escape festivals - the latter a coveted spot on The Independent's stage - and further dates supporting Sundara Karma and PYNCH.
With new EP 'Loaded Fun', Make Friends are drawing a line in the sand, with visions of setting sail into uncharted and compelling new territory, the band saying:
"These past two years have really been about exploring and experimenting with our writing and production. We've been writing a ton, and along the way, we've noticed our sound evolving into something we're really excited about. We wanted the new material to feel fresh to us while still capturing the spirit and energy of our influences. Having the chance to work with Ed has been a big part of that. From a writing and production point of view, it's been really enjoyable and fruitful for how we've developed. 'Loaded Fun' is a culmination of that time spent."
