    Hailing from the Causeway Coast, Good Friend is Adam Carroll (lead vocals and bass), Izzy Curran (drums), and Andy Reid (lead guitar). These three Irish lads originally come from around Belfast/Northern Ireland but they moved to Newcastle, England to get shitty jobs and form a band. The jobs did indeed turn out to be shitty, but the band turned out great!

    I had the absolute honor of speaking with Adam Moore (Merch Limbo / ex-Hero In Error), Steve "Confey" Reilly (Hero In Error), and Evan from Dead Cult Promotions/Worn Out about two upcoming shows in support of Adam — who’s been bravely battling MS for over 10 years.
    All proceeds from these gigs will go directly toward his stem cell treatment in Serbia.
    The conversation was emotional, inspiring, and full of love — from Adam sharing his MS journey to Confey reflecting on Adam’s incredible impact on others. The support has been overwhelming — his fiancée Tania’s GoFundMe has already raised over €75,000, and that number is still climbing.

    Hunter (Vocals/Bass), Boydy (Drums/Vocals) and Grog (Guitars) of Northern Ireland based Teras have been absolutely killing it lately with live performances all over Ireland. The hugely positive reaction to their latest single 'Sovereign' along with them explaining the new exciting creative direction they are exploring for the rest of 2025, certainly left me feeling that this is a band that are worth waiting on for their next release. Hunter talks about building up this 'tribe' of followers and you get the feeling that the more Teras find their groove the bigger the 'tribe' will be.
