I found out about The Friday Night Boys while browsing the Myspace top 100 artists chart in the pop category. Being that this is a brand new blog, I’m still not quite sure what standard I should use for determining whether a band is too well-known to go into the blog, but since The Friday Night Boys was listed as band #100 of the unsigned bands, I figured I should write about them to at least keep them on the chart.
In reality, I would say that The Friday Night Boys is more of a pop/punk band as opposed to a pop band, but they do a great job of combining the two genres. If I had to compare them to another band, I would say that they sound like Bowling for Soup, but more poppy. They have some pretty cool fast songs such as High School and Thursday Night Pregame. There is a pretty amazing guitar solo at around 1:45 into High School.
But then just when I thought I had their style figured out, I listened to a newly uploaded song called You Do You Don’t which is a nice slow ballad and almost entirely pop oriented as opposed to the pop/punk nature of their other songs. The song is actually really good, and I’d recommend checking it out. Their song Sorry I Stole Yo Gurl is also entirely pop, so it just goes to show that you can’t judge the style of a band by only listening to two of their songs.
I would encourage you to check out The Friday Night Boys Myspace page. On their Myspace profile you can listen to five of their songs and buy their MP3s.

Hey, They are a great band. I think all their songs are catchy and make people happy inside.
I think their best song is ’stupid love letter’
