NEw 'SALTWATER' EP
|
Who We Are: London-based hard rock band Empty Friend formed in 2015 as a rag tag rock quartet, taking their name from an album track by L.A. alt-rockers Failure. The band has come into its own with a mix of driving guitar riffs and wailing vocals, drawing on elements of hard rock, grunge, stoner with a hint of metal to deliver a battery of heavy, yet melodic tunes.
Karl M. (drums) and Ryan O. (guitar) first met through college in the suburbs of north west London, hammering out Slayer and Metallica covers in the small bedroom of a terraced house in Harrow. They also individually played in a string of punk, rock and hardcore bands in the area. It was years later, following a Soundgarden reunion gig in London, that the pair joined up with singer-songwriter and former frontman of Dead Man Band, Dave K. (vocals), along with former Dead Man four-stringer Rich F. (bass). Following an extensive songwriting period with successful initial shows, the band eventually parted ways with founding member Rich, continuing as a 3-piece until mid-2017 when Daverage N. (bass) joined the band to complete the line-up.
Starting 2018 on a strong footing, the band has now released its first EP - titled 'Saltwater' and are penning a growing set of uncompromising hard rock songs as they gig around the London hard rock scene. Empty Friend are looking to bring their loud, energetic live set to bigger stages and audiences in 2018-19.
