Chicago, IL– Rock band, Glory Days are premiering their catchy melody-driven single “Because Friends Are All We Have” on December 12 via Ghost Killer Entertainment. The track is a follow-up to their recently released single, “Clocks.”

“Because Friends Are All We Have” delivers impactful hooks and honest lyrics. Glory Days shares personal experiences in a relatable way, creating a strong bond between them and their fans.

“”Because Friends Are All We Have” is  a powerful pop punk/alt rock single that captures the heartache and hope of leaning on the people who matter most. We’ve written the song in the middle of personal storms and late-night conversations, “Because Friends Are All We Have” explores the reality of mental health struggles and the weight of trying to stay afloat when everything feels overwhelming. Rather than shy away from the darker moments, the song leans into them, delivering the reminder that it’s okay to not be okay and that leaning on your friends isn’t weakness, but survival. We’ve channeled that message into a cathartic, shout-along chorus that feels like a hand on your shoulder and a spark in your chest. It’s vulnerable, loud, hopeful, and unmistakably sincere; a testament to celebrating the friends who show up, sit with you in the mess, and help you breathe again. The result is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt lost but kept going because someone refused to let them go alone.

Raw, honest, and full of life, “Because Friends Are All We Have” stands as one of the band’s most relatable and uplifting releases yet.” – Glory Days

About Glory Days: In 2016, four friends from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago came together to start a band. Embracing the nostalgic sounds of early 2000s pop punk, Glory Days was born with the intent of creating music just as moving as their musical heroes. James Pickering (vocals/guitar), Vince Gannon (vocals/bass), CJ Jarmuth (guitar) and Jared Tousey (drums) finalized the lineup in 2017, becoming known for their lively personalities onstage and off.

The band’s music focuses on the personal challenges of growing up and confronting one’s inner demons. Finding inspiration in the songwriting of The Starting Line, Yellowcard, The Flatliners, and Green Day, Glory Days sheds light on mental health issues and personal growth through punchy guitar leads and emotional vocal performances. Their debut EP “The Roads We’ve Traveled” was recorded by Seth Henderson (State Champs, Broadside, Sleep On It, Knuckle Puck) and acts as their strong introduction to the scene. Songs like “Bottom Left” and “Divided” tell relatable stories through a classic pop punk lens.

Their latest release “Because Friends Are All We Have” melds the familiarity of the warped tour scene with bursts of refreshing pop melodies that are destined for arenas. Glory Days hopes to make you feel something. Dance to their music in your room and discover something new about yourself.
