Real Friends is an American pop punk band from Tinley Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, that formed in 2010. The group is known for their emotive lyrics and a sound that blends high-energy punk rock with an acoustic sensibility, which has earned them a significant following within the pop-punk scene. As a heartfelt expression of the human condition, their music often touches on themes of friendship, love, and the challenges of mental health.

Over the years, Real Friends have released multiple EPs and full-length albums that chart the maturation of their sound and lyricism. Their 2010's releases like "Everyone That Dragged You Here" and albums such as "Maybe This Place Is The Same And We're Just Changing" and "The Home Inside My Head" have solidified their standing as quintessential voices in their genre. In their more recent work, the band continues to innovate, offering acoustic renditions, lofi makeovers, and emotionally charged singles such as "Nervous Wreck" and "Tell Me You're Sorry," displaying their versatility and connection with their audience. Their re-imaginings of previous works, like "Even More Acoustic Songs," showcase the group's ability to strip down and reinterpret their music, giving fans a different perspective on familiar tunes, while covers such as "Duality" pay homage to influencers within the wider alternative scene.
