Real Friends

This week New Jersey rockers Can't Swim release their debut album Fail You Again, before they make a welcomed return to the UK alongside Real Friends next month. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Chris LoPorto to chat about the new record, becoming a five-piece and revisiting his childhood home.

Can't Swim stream their new album 'Fail You Again' and release mini-documentary.

Real Friends get into the Halloween spirit in their latest video 'Mess'.

Moose Blood are a band who need no introduction, and following on from their 2014 debut album I’ll Keep You In Mind From Time To Time they’ve returned with follow up Blush. Having spent the last two years winning over the hearts of music lovers across the globe with their impeccable live performances, they’ve also somehow managed to create a ten track release of melodic guitar rock with a massive dose of emo thrown in for good measure.

Back in 2013, Real Friends signed to Fearless Records off the back of their 5th EP, Put Yourself Back Together. Since then, the Illinois five piece have released their debut album Maybe This Place Is The Same And We’re Just Changing, and spent months on end on the road, cultivating the expansive and passionate fanbase they have today. The Home Inside My Head is the band’s sophomore album.

We caught up with Real Friends in the calm before the storm ahead of their Slam Dunk Festival appearance and European tour. With their recently released album 'The Home Inside My Head' paired with a launch gig at the Hippodrome, we talked midnight walks, shitting in your pants and what to expect from their new material…

We're not entirely sure where the past year has gone, but somehow Slam Dunk Festival has crept right up on us this year! Celebrating their tenth anniversary means one hell of a party and this year they've pulled out the mother of all line-ups. To try and help you choose between your band clashes, we've picked ten acts you 100% have to see over the weekend.

Check out the video that Real Friends released last week for 'Scared To Be Alone'.

Another killer announcement from the folks at Slam Dunk Festival, bring on May!

Eight more bands have been added to the Slam Dunk Festival 2016 line-up, including Mallory Knox and Set Your Goals!
