Wiper and True's Presents series returns, with Bristol-based band Make Friends headlining, and support from James Humphrys.

Headline: Make Friends

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 band bring a fresh take on modern indie music - their debut EP forged fan-favourite 'Ellie', which was 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 new EP, set to release in 2025.
