Who Is Free Friends?
The pop punk trio Free Friends, consisting of wife & husband Lauren & Ben DeHan along with drummer Gil Perez, have crafted the most jaw-dropping set of songs to hit the pop punk scene in years. Collaborating with Matt Malpass (blink-182, Magnolia Park), Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco), & Sam Pura (State Champs, The Story So Far), the group has created a unique sound that falls somewhere between blink-182 & Neck Deep, accompanied by cello. Their upcoming EP, “Sweet Nothing”, features collaborations with artists such as Hit The Lights, glimmers, & Makeout, & with national tour dates & festival appearances in the works, Free Friends is ready to explode onto the scene.
Their dual vocals and emotionally charged lyrics are reminiscent of Taking Back Sunday's anthemic hooks while minimalist verses that could’ve been written by blink-182, are complemented by poignant cello leads comparable to Yellowcard's violin. It's a unique yet definitively pop punk sound that connects & builds upon every era of the genre.
Their latest track, a Pop Punk cover of Miley Cyrus' "Used To Be Young," featuring Jack The Underdog and produced by Eric Taft (Less Than Jake), reimagines the pop hit with vibrant punk energy. It infuses the song with the heart and soul of the emo anthems that have inspired a generation, placing the band alongside rising stars like Crooked Teeth, People R Ugly and 408. Keep an eye out for their tour this summer, leading up to a much-anticipated full-length album release in fall 2024!
