Gone By Friday – FreEP/Smoking Gun EP

This one’s for all those people who say most of the pop-punk on this Free Music Blog mostly links to ifyoumakeit.com albums (not that there’s anything wrong with that).  The band is Gone By Friday, and their sound is squeaky clean and altogether very fun.  Some good benchmarks are probably Lagwagon, Taking Back Sunday, and Yellowcard – an odd mix, but I wouldn’t describe it any other way.  Their latest offering is their aptly titled two song freEP.  This duo is certainly the band’s strongest output to date, with songs reaching that elusively approachable, but never overly so, level of fun.  The band also has their first EP up for download, and while it’s a little rough around the edges, it’s still pretty solid in its own right.
