Real Friends have performed an acoustic version of their track Colder Quicker.

The song is lifted from their upcoming album The Home Inside My Head, due out on May 27, and they performed the acoustic version during a session for Hot Topic.

They also issued a video for their track Scared To Be Alone last month.

Bassist Kyle Fasel said: “Scared To Be Alone was a song that stood out to us very early on. I remember when we wrote it, the song just hit me. It didn’t sound like any of our other songs, yet it still sounded right for us.

“We tried a different approach in the beginning of the song with a darker sound. And then in the chorus we totally dug into our Jimmy Eat World influence.”

The US outfit are currently on the road in support of the album, which is available for pre-order.
