The event certainly appealed to a specific fan base, with the majority of the fans in attendance ranging in age from late-teens to mid-twenties, sporting colored hair, piercings, and tattoos. While some of the fans hung back by the bar area, most of them crowded around the wooden stage, continuously checking the time on their phones and waiting for the lights to dim indicating that the bands were about to go on stage. <\/p>\n<p>Real Friends is on tour to promote their third and newest album, <em>Composure<\/em>, which was released earlier this summer. This is the band\u2019s first album since their summer 2016 album, <em>The Home Inside My Head<\/em>. Later that same year, frontman <strong>Dan Lambton<\/strong> shared via social media that the band would be taking some time off so he could focus on addressing his mental health. It was later revealed that Lambton was seeking out treatment for his bipolar disorder which had previously gone undiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64645\" alt=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64645\" alt=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-17-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After Real Friends had been quiet since the announcement of the hiatus, fans were surprised by <em>Composure<\/em>, which was announced June 2018, less than a month before its release. After spending the summer on the last run of the Vans Warped Tour, this is the band&#8217;s first tour since the album\u2019s release. With songs like \u201cFrom The Outside\u201d, \u201cSmiling On The Surface\u201d, and \u201cGet By\u201d, fans were able to get an honest glimpse into Lambton&#8217;s struggle with mental illness and his journey towards recovery. In the title track, \u201cComposure\u201d, Lambton sings, \u201cI&#8217;m reclaiming my composure \/ Lately, I&#8217;ve been smiling, pretend to be stable\u201d. In another song, \u201cFrom the Outside\u201d, Lambton addresses how appearances can be deceiving for invisible illnesses, where much of the illness is internalized and not apparent to outsiders. <\/p>\n<p>From the outside&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I seem fine<\/p>\n<p>On the inside I&#8217;m still sick&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The pill&#8217;s a temporary fix<\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\/\/&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span> <\/span><span>&#8220;From the Outside&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> from <em>Composure<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64646\" alt=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64646\" alt=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-18-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Real Friends opened up their set Sunday evening with the song \u201cMe First\u201d, the first track on <em>Composure<\/em>. An upbeat melody with a catchy chorus, fans in the crowd jumped while singing along about frustrations and despair in relationships. With no barricade separating the stage from the crowd, fans launched into the air and crowd surfed their way to the stage as soon as the song began. With no security guards to catch the crowd surfers, fan after fan was dropped directly onto the stage only to quickly pick themselves up and leap back into the sea of people. The Halloween themed music video for \u201cMe First\u201d, released two weeks prior to the show, juxtaposes the emotional content of the song by depicting a woman chasing the band members around a house with various weapons, ultimately serving them on a silver platter at a dinner table. <\/p>\n<p>Real Friends played other songs off <em>Composure<\/em>, including \u201cUnconditional Love\u201d and \u201cGet By\u201d, in addition to their older hits like \u201cI Don\u2019t Love you Anymore\u201d, \u201cI&#8217;ve Given Up on You\u201d, and \u201cMess\u201d. With lyrics that tackle common issues among young adults, such as love, heartbreak, and struggling to figure out your identity, fans found solace in the relatable topics and passionately belted the lyrics while waving their hands in the air. <strong>Kyle Fasel <\/strong>(bass), <strong>Dave Knox <\/strong>(guitar), and <strong>Eric Haines <\/strong>(guitar) kept the energy high by switching up their positions and moving across the stage. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64644\" alt=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64644\" alt=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Real Friends play Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-12-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the set, Lambton asked the audience if any fans knew all the lyrics to their song \u201cLate Nights in My Car,\u201d which has nearly seven million plays on Spotify. One fan, Hanna, was invited up on stage to sing and be a member of the band for those three minutes. With the crowd surfing and other integration of fans into the set, Real Friends made a point to express that the evening was all about having a good time and meeting new people. In response to one fan who posted on Twitter earlier that day that she wanted to attend the evening\u2019s event but did not have any friends to go with, Real Friends replied \u201ca show is a great place to meet new friends\u201d. Then during the set, Lambton paused between songs to say, \u201cI personally don\u2019t give a s**t if you know the next two songs or not, all I give a s**t about is that you have fun\u201d. Band members and fans alike donned smiles during the entire set, and it was evident that everyone in that room was exactly where they wanted to be. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64647\" alt=\"Boston Manor plays Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Boston Manor plays Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-64647\" alt=\"Boston Manor plays Soundstage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Boston Manor plays Soundstage\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-213x160.jpg 213w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-621x466.jpg 621w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/real-friends-19-of-21-747x560.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Real Friends were supported on tour by fellow pop punk bands <strong>Boston Manor<\/strong>, <strong>Greyscale<\/strong>, and <strong>Eat Your Heart Out<\/strong>.
