Good Neighbours are an English alternative rock duo formed in London in 2024 by Oliver “Oli” Fox and Scott Verrill. The two met as actual neighbors while living in a studio block in East London — a fitting origin for the name they would go on to share. Their breakout single “Home”, released in January 2024, quickly became a viral sensation on TikTok and now boasts over 400 million streams on Spotify. It’s a track worth saving to your liked songs: a booming vocal performance layered with rich bass and thunderous drums.
Their self-titled debut EP, released in October 2024, opens with the anthemic single “Keep It Up” — a song that hits hard with its driving percussion and uplifting message about resilience and staying positive through life’s challenges. One of the most distinctive aspects of Good Neighbours is their wall of vocals. Catch them live and you’ll witness an electric performance, with both Oli and Scott giving everything they have into their mics, backed by a passionate touring band.
Of course, “Home” remains the heart of their discography — a stirring, emotional anthem about longing, connection, and the people who make a place feel like home. You’ll be singing along by the end. The track “Daisies” shifts gears with a groovy, lo-fi, bass-driven rhythm that eventually builds into their signature explosive drum sound. And yes, Oli isn’t just behind the mic — he’s been known to pick up a floor tom mid-set and hammer into it when the moment calls for it, adding raw energy to the live experience.
In 2025, Good Neighbours have already released two new singles and rumors are swirling about a full-length debut album on the horizon. If you're hoping to catch them live, you're in luck — they’ll be performing twice at Summerfest in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 21, with sets at 4:00 PM and 7:45 PM. This is a band that’s quickly becoming one to watch, and their live show is absolutely worth the drive.
