Real Friends is excited to announce their More Acoustic Songs EP, featuring stunning acoustic versions of "Summer", "I Don't Love You Anymore", "Late Nights In My Car" (feat. This Wild Life's Kevin Jordan), and a cover of The Starting Line's "Island". Check out the band's video featuring exclusive clips of all four tracks.

"We are stoked to showcase our songs in acoustic form," says bassist and lyricist Kyle Fasel. "The main reason we did this was for personal taste. We all have connected with acoustic music in the past and currently. It's also an added bonus to highlight these versions of our songs to our fans. It shows our songs in another light that we are very excited about sharing."

An exclusive vinyl picture disc release of the EP will be available on April 18th as part of Record Store Day (limited to 2,000 copies) at participating Record Store Day locations worldwide. VisitRecordStoreDay.com for all retail locations. The EP will also be available digitally from April 28th. 5% of proceeds from the digital edition through 2015 will be donated to Hope For The Day and Hinsdale Humane Society.

"I am extremely excited that Real Friends is being included in this year's Record Store Day," adds lead vocalist Dan Lambton. "RSD gives people a reason to leave the comfort of their homes and the ease of online shopping in order to have an actual experience when buying new music. It can introduce younger listeners to great record stores in their areas that they might not otherwise find if they were to strictly do their record shopping online. To be a part of something that is continually providing exciting releases to highlight and celebrate vinyl is very humbling."

The band will kick off their North American tour alongside The Maine and Knuckle Puck.
