About ABoF

A Badge of Friendship started when founders Claire Lim and Paul McCallum made their way down from Glasgow, Scotland, to London.

After years of promoting live shows around the big smoke for bands like Hell Is For Heroes, Jeffrey Lewis, Sucioperro, Enablers and The Twilight Sad, they decided to focus on PR for independent bands and labels.

ABoF prides itself on being an independent company that's honest, passionate and offers a personal and friendly service. When you join ABoF's roster, you become part of the ABoF 'family' and each individual is treated with care and attention.

ABoF's speciality is working with unsigned and independent artists and labels from the ground up, helping them raise their profile and find their voice. ABoF's bands and artists have featured in the Guardian, NME, Stereogum, Noisey, Spin, Q Magazine, Clash, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, The Line of Best Fit, DIY, The Quietus, The 405, Artrocker, MOJO, Shortlist, VICE and many other blogs, websites, regional magazines and newspapers.

We also have great track record with radio with support from BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 2, Radio X, Amazing Radio, BBC Radio Scotland and many other regional and student radio shows around the UK.
