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 (The Story So Far), the group has created an explosive/ emotive Pop Punk sound which is uniquely accompanied by cello. Their upcoming full-length features artists such as Hit The Lights, Makeout, High Wire, glimmers and many others & with national tour dates & festival appearances in the works, Free Friends is poised 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. The band's latest track, Letterman Down, featuring Jack The Underdog is a gut-punch of emo realism dressed in stadium-sized pop punk. With soaring hooks and a chorus built for screaming in the rain, it blends the vulnerability of Jimmy Eat World with the early raw intensity of The All-American Rejects. It’s another link in the chain of what's shaping up to be an epic debut full length, set to release October, 2025. Catch them on tour with Pine Creek Academy, When the Sun Sets, and FRND CRCL!
