Making Enemies

**Making Enemies** is a post-hardcore/emo group hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, known for their raw, high-energy sound and emotionally charged lyrics. Formed in 2016, the band blends crushing riffs, melodic hooks, and introspective themes, drawing inspiration from early 2000s screamo and modern heavy acts. Their lineup includes vocalist Nate Farrington, guitarists Tyler Harris and Matt Kuklis, bassist Ethan Maxwell, and drummer Connor Sample. Over the years, they’ve built a reputation for explosive live shows and a DIY ethos, often collaborating with independent labels like The Coming Strife Records.

Recent tracks like *Lessons*, *Disregard*, and *Stability* (from their 2020 EP of the same name) showcase their knack for balancing aggression with vulnerability, tackling personal turmoil and societal critiques. They’ve toured extensively and shared stages with bands like Capra and The Orphan The Poet, earning a dedicated following in the underground scene. While keeping details close to the chest, Making Enemies continues to evolve, cementing their place as unapologetic storytellers in aggressive music.
