Who We Are: London-based hard rock band Empty Friend formed in 2015, taking their name from an album track by L.A. alt-rockers Failure. The band is built on a foundation of driving guitar riffs and wailing vocals, drawing on elements of hard rock, grunge, stoner and 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 at Hyde Park in London, that the pair joined up with 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 Dave H (bass) joined the band to complete the line-up.
In July 2018 the band has released its debut 5-track 'Saltwater' EP to a very positive reception, and since then they have been hard at work bringing their energetic and uncompromising live show around the London DIY scene & further afield. Their follow up E.P. is due for release in late 2019, which was recorded with Tom Hill at Book Room Studios.
