It all started in the late summer of 2009 a ballsy idea from a mentor and a guitar teacher of Peters, Abeer of Landing Project. Billy, after breaking up with his old band Vanderveer Street and losing everyone he once knew needed something to pick him up. Peter and Chris (Peters Twin brother) following Abeers advice decided to put all the past differences they had with Billy aside and ask to form a band. Ed then joined the band as bassist and the puzzle was complete.

It all started in the late summer of 2009 a ballsy idea from a mentor and a guitar teacher of Peters, Abeer of Landing Project. Billy, after breaking up with his old band Vanderveer Street and losing everyone he once knew needed something to pick him up. Peter and Chris (Peters Twin brother) following Abeers advice decided to put all the past differences they had with Billy aside and ask to form a band. Ed then joined the band as bassist and the puzzle was complete.
It wasn't easy at first, difficulties arose, differences needed to be sorted out. In the end, Billy, Peter and Chris realized that there really was nothing wrong between them. That they have grown up past the point of childish games and hate for no reason. Basically. They all dropped the high school bullshit. They then decided to drop everything they knew, and never even speak about the people they once knew. (unlike popular contrary belief) and move completely on, with no hate for anyone and start over. The first song was born, entitled "Smoking Gun" an anthem about moving on, forgetting the past and forgetting old frustrations.
In the short months GBF has been together, they have grown closer every second, realizing that they are more than friends, but brothers. Their first album, "Noisetank" (to be released summer 2010) named after one of Billy's favorite video games and what Billy imagined a Noisetank to be (something that comes and blows away all the crappy things in life with music) Has 13 songs, and that includes crowd favorites like "Smoking Gun", "I Guess it Was Destiny" "Vampire" and "The End of us". Gone By Friday is dedicated to playing shows with high energy and fun. GBF live is something that should be seen and experienced heard and memorized. Come out to a show, grab a copy of the "Smoking Gun EP" with 4 songs for free, shirts with the infamous "subway logo" only 10 dollars. The guys love and appreciate all the support they've been getting, and all they want is for all their friends and fans to come out and have a good time every show.
