All My Friends Hate Me

Founded in 2018 by Nashville-bred Bobby Banister, British transplant Beau McCarthy and later, bassist Xander Burmer from Seattle and drummer Justin Kroger from Little Rock, Arkansas, All My Friends Hate Me is the self deprecating, sarcastic lovechild of punk riffs and a lifetime of bad relationships.

The idea for All My Friends Hate Me was sitting at the bottom of a shitty bottle of whiskey at an industry party Bobby was dragged to and Beau gate crashed. Soon after, Beau decided to make the move to LA and start a band. He found himself at Bobby's apartment, writing a lot of music and drinking a lot of beer. After many Natural Lights, Beau persuaded Bobby to start All My Friends Hate Me with him, despite the fact that Bobby had sworn to himself he'd never start a band again. The last time he did, it ended with his own escape to LA where shit went down and all his friends sided with his ex-best friend and ex-girlfriend. Cheers to the happy couple.

On a less bitter note: All My Friends Hate Me released their debut album, Metal Butterflies on November 29, 2019 and their follow-up single "Blood" in Summer 2020 and the band has singles scheduled to release throughout the year 💀
