Preparing to kick off their first ever tour of North America next week on October 28 in San Francisco, Los Angeles six-piece The Sophs are sharing a new song and video ‘I’M YOUR FIEND’. The track follows earlier stand-alone singles ‘SWEAT’, ‘DEATH IN THE FAMILY’ and a cover of Mac Demarco’s ‘For The First Time’. A full UK Tour for April 2026 is also announced today, including a show at the 100 Club in London – full details below.

Frontman Ethan Ramon says the song “is The Sophs at our most manic. It’s frenetic declarations of love and lust under a blanket of static so thick it feels like your DIRECTV satellite just got hit by lightning in the middle of your favorite show.”
The Sophs’ brutal honesty, flamingly intrusive thoughts, and broad genre-spreading caught the attention of Rough Trade label heads Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee immediately when they received a demo from Ramon. In the band’s demos they heard the sort of creativity and variety — and “don’t expect me to act pretty” sentiment — that could get The Sophs — including frontman Ethan Ramon, Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass) — a slot on nearly any stage. “It’s rare that a demo that arrives in the post sets your heart racing and sends you off on a quest to track down its sender. But that’s what happened when we listened to the music sent to us by Ethan Ramon,” Travis and Lee explain.
Next week, The Sophs kick off their first ever headlining North American tour, starting in San Francisco on Tuesday and hitting major cities such as Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Toronto, Boston and NYC. Tickets for all shows are on-sale now. The Sophs have also been announced to play Primavera, Treefort and Bandland Festivals in 2026
