Pssst. Are you looking for a new anthem? Something emotive and a little sentimental? Something that talks directly to you about good times with your squad? Well, look no further. Abbey Moon have got you covered.

‘Friends of Mine’ is the debut single from Abbey Moon, it’s a bit mod, nicely melodic, hooky AF, beautifully lyrical and is going to be getting the dial set to sun, fun and good times with good mates as summer is on its way!

Abbey Moon are a four piece from London, (three from Essex), each of the members have been in bands before, with two members coming from Cavalcade and two members being formerly in Sister Ray. But the guys have come together to form this whole new entity, just like when all the Power Rangers come together to form Megazord! Niall, Mick, Jack and Marco have combined, and just like Megazord, they are even more powerful and ready to battle the really big aliens and monsters. But that doesn’t explain how a debut single can be this good. There is definitely that little sprinkling of something special over the top, just a little ‘something something’ that elevates the single. The writing is superb, it is poetic yet relatable, talking about real life stuff we can all relate to. Friends of Mine was recorded with Michael Smith from RYP recordings who also has a bit of previous, working with the likes of Low Girl, Anteros, Wolf Alice and Elvis Costello. So, I guess, all of the key elements are here.

Previous experience in quality bands, adds up to a brilliant sound. Having this previous experience in bands goes part way to explaining how Abbey Moon have formed up Megazord style, each member bringing their individual Power Ranger abilities to produce this exceptional debut single, but I can’t wait to watch the Abbey Moon saga unfold, to see what’s next. I strongly suggest you get the song on your playlist, learn the words, and get ready to sing ‘Friends Of Mine’ at the top of your lungs this summer, hanging on to the mates that you only get to see at gigs and festivals, remembering the mates that can’t be there. Celebrating the best days, the best soundtrack, making the best memories. You don’t want to be the only one not singing along to this anthem!

Friends of Mine is available to stream now!
