“Asking For A Friend”
Listen Here
Ahead Of Self-Titled Debut Album
Arriving 21st April
“My head is saying that I should just stay put
in the lonely hearts club”
Brontës release the latest track from their highly anticipated debut album. “Asking For A Friend” tackles the anxieties of developing feelings for a friend, fearing it could ruin the friendship for something that may not last. It dances between frustration and temptation, with the repeated phrase “asking for a friend” avoiding admission of true feelings to protect the heart.
It is the fourth digital single from Brontës’ upcoming debut album, set for release in April with Last Night From Glasgow. First single “Cognitive Dissonance” was released on 22 August, a sunny indie-rock hit full of catchy guitar licks and classic pop lyricism exploring feelings of jealousy and anger.
Second single “San Francisco” is a change of pace, showcasing the quartet’s versatility. It digs deep and slows down, contemplating the tragedy of right person, wrong time. On 13 February, the band released punchy third single “Wouldn’t Be Me”, a playful anti-Valentines anthem, encouraging you to dump your boyfriend and move on.
The self-titled album is set for release on 21 April 2026 on three shades of vinyl, CD and digital formats. The release is launched with three key events – a listening party and stripped performance at Loud & Clear Glasgow on 23 April, a headline performance at LNFG Towers on 25 April and a slot at LNFG’s Birthday Bash at Cottiers in Glasgow on 9 May.
Brontës are Eva on vocals/guitar, Amelia on drums/vocals, Erin on guitar/vocals and Katie on bass/vocals. With a brand-new look, attitude and sound Brontës have reinvented themselves as a 4-piece rock/pop band influenced by generations of classic pop music such as Sabrina Carpenter, Blondie and The Ronettes.
The Glasgow band have built up a steady buzz on the live circuit since emerging in 2021, from playing a sold-out headline gig at the iconic King Tuts to festival slots across the country. Fast forward to 2025 and Brontës have recently finished recording their highly anticipated debut album at Ayrshire’s Beetroot Studio with Stuart MacLeod. Assured in their polished sound, the group are looking forward to branching out in this next chapter as one of Glasgow’s most promising young indie bands. Brontës joined label Last Night From Glasgow in 2021. First Hand Arrogance and Groove were released as an AA side 7” single in 2022 prompting praise from Snack Mag, Discovery Music, Is This Music. In 2023, they followed with singles Down To You and He’s Not Racist. Continuously developing their sound, the band released their first EP Element of Revival in 2024 with accompanying remix by Roller Disco Death Party. Later in the year two more singles followed; Strange Town and Headlines.
