If you're familiar with the genre of pop punk music then you should be aware of the band Real Friends. Coming straight from Tinley Park,Illinois the band just released their 2nd full length album, The Home Inside My Head. Their now out on tour and part of 1 of the best lineups a tour can have. The Wonder Years, Real Friends,Moose Blood,Knuckle Puck and Seaway are all playing shows together. To get you stoked for the upcoming California dates here's 7 Real Friends songs to know!
1. Late Nights In My Car
Throwing it back to the EP Put Yourself Back Together is this song. Listening to sad songs in cars is something everyone does and this song explains that pretty well. Give it a listen!

2.Mokena
This is my favorite song from the new album. The way Dan Lambton (lead singer of Real Friends) sings in this song draws you in and you can hear the emotion in his voice. When a band sings a song that makes you feel something, you know the song is good.

3.Sixteen
At this point in Real Friends' career this is probably a pretty classic song. The lyrics "I find it kind of weird how you find yourself when you have no one" have been stuck in my brain since I heard the song. This is one of the songs that you should be screaming along when you see Real Friends.

4.I Don't Love You Anymore
The 2nd song off their 1st album (Maybe This Place Is The Same, And We’re Just Changing) is this one and it draws you in straight from the beginning of the album. Just like Sixteen, this is a classic and one that should be memorized as well.

5.Mess
Another tune from the new album is "Mess". The music video just dropped for this song and it's awesome! I really recommend listening to the new album so that you can hear this song.

6.Short Song
This is another one that has lyrics that stick in my head. It's a very honest song that explains a lot of stuff that happens to people during their lives. Just as the song title implies it's short and right to the point.

7.Summer
I think this was probably the first Real Friends song that I heard. It got me hooked on this band and I really like jamming to this one at Real Friends shows! Another classic jam and another one to know all the lyrics to!

Real Friends are playing November 6th at The Fonda Theater in Los Angeles,CA and November 5th at The Soma in San Diego,CA. Be there or be square!
