Friends of Friends – have announced their brand new EP ‘Synthetic Flower Chainsaw’ + release the single ‘Skin’

Gold Coast, Australia based-  Alt-rock band Friends of Friends have announced their brand new EP Synthetic Flower Chainsaw,will be released on 24th October 2025.

After receiving support from Triple J, BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! and more on the previous singles, the band have released Skin.  A sprawling, confessional song that feels both intimate and explosive. Part arena rock, part bedroom whisper, it strips away bravado until what’s left is raw nerve.

“It started as a love song, but what it really became was about feeling trapped in your own body, your own head,” Barnaby says. “It’s lust, it’s longing, but also that fear of being seen too clearly.”

The EP, Synthetic Flower Chainsaw is a catchy, tender five-track statement from the band that refuses polish in favour of something truer: gut-spilt honesty, maximalist chaos, and a strange kind of beauty that envelops you. The EP swings from jagged punk anthems to brittle intimacy – a collision of worlds only barely held together by the band’s unrelenting emotional throughline.”

Beyond the songs, Synthetic Flower Chainsaw is a full DIY universe. Every note was tracked, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Barnaby himself in the band’s own bedroom spaces — no studios, no safety nets. Visuals, videos, marketing, and world-building are all handled in-house, yet the work is landing global recognition.
