Formed in late 2023, Good Neighbours, aka singers, songwriters, producers and multi-instrumentalists Oli Fox and Scott Verrill, have rapidly become the UK’s biggest new band. Released speculatively on TikTok in January 2024, their debut single Home, a big unapologetic stomper recalling the likes of 2010s indie-pop heroes MGMT and Glass Animals, and anchored by a heartfelt message about finding comfort in people you love, quickly went viral. Just as quickly it became an old-school hit, peaking in the UK at number 23, entering the top 20 in Australia (where they’ve toured extensively) and breaking into the Billboard Hot 100. It’s success – soundtracking over 250k videos on TikTok and landing 450m streams on Spotify alone – earned them a deal with Polydor in the UK and Capitol in America, while the success of followup single Keep It Up has helped solidify them as a fixture on the live circuit.
