About Good Neighbours

Good Neighbours emerged from the vibrant independent music landscape of the UK with a sound that is both instantly recognisable and refreshingly diverse. Formed in their early twenties, the quartet quickly garnered attention for their intelligent songwriting, effortlessly blending indie-rock sensibilities with a touch of melodic pop and a keen eye for the everyday absurdities of modern life. Their formative years were spent honing their craft in sweaty pub backrooms and small club stages, a crucible that forged their reputation as a captivating live band.

Their breakthrough single, “The Fray,” released in 2022, became an unexpected anthem for a generation, resonating with its relatable themes of youthful anxieties and burgeoning independence. This was followed by a string of equally compelling tracks, including the introspective “Paper Tigers,” which showcased their lyrical depth, and the infectiously upbeat “Cracks in the Pavement,” a testament to their knack for crafting instantly hummable tunes. Their debut album, “[Album Title - placeholder for example, but we will remove for final output, e.g. ‘City Lights & Cobblestones’]”, released to widespread critical acclaim, solidified their status as a band to watch, earning them comparisons to established indie giants while carving out a distinct identity of their own. Known for their dynamic stage presence, Good Neighbours are not just musicians; they are storytellers who connect with their audience on a deeply personal level, making each performance a communal experience.
