“My head is saying that I should just stay put in the lonely hearts club”

Brontës recently released 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. Now that debut album is due for release tomorrow 21st April.

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.

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.
