Friends Again were a Scottish 1980s new wave/pop group, formed in 1982.

They were formed by members Chris Thomson and Paul McGeechan, together with Neil Cunningham, James Grant and Stuart Kerr. The group was famous for their singles "State of Art", "Sunkissed" and "Honey at the Core". They released a self-titled EP in 1984, which peaked at No. 59 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] They then recorded their debut album, Trapped & Unwrapped (1984). The album's sound ranged from 1970s styled funk to new wave to soulful ballads.

After the demise of the band, Grant went on to form Love and Money in 1985 along with McGeechan and Kerr, while Thomson formed The Bathers.
