L.A. based Make Believe Friends drops their latest single and new album on Friday, December 15, 2023.

Legendary Producer Ed Stasium (Talking Heads, Ramones) provided the full mix and Bernie Godwin (whose father Dito Godwin produced No Doubt), was the recording engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIntentions\u201d releases in tandem with Make Believe Friends\u2019 first album to be called by the band\u2019s name: \u201cMake Believe Friends\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe catchy ‘Intentions’ opens Make Believe Friends’ new self-titled debut album, with struggling relationship lyrics in parallel to current world issues. Mindy Milburn powerfully declares, ‘I’m walking away’ and Laura Espinoza echoes that strength with her fuzz guitar in the bridge. ‘Intentions’ is followed by seven equally great original compositions and an edgy cover of Blondie’s ‘Rapture’ from this talented group who also perform as the Blondie tribute band, Heart of Blonde.
