Best Of Friends opt for the all-Americana vibe in their "Here We Go" video.
What happens when a couple of Warped Tour rockers trade in their amps for acoustic guitars? Best of Friends' "Here We Go" is showing us the way, with a song that draws inspiration from groups like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. The band -- including Morgan Dorr and John Keefe of Boys Like Girls -- came together with Jamel Hawke and Ethan Dorr to write a song for fifth member Kevin McHugh's wedding. With that one a winner, the new group added Mario Fanizzi and Allyn Door -- Morgan's dad! -- making the band both Best of Friends and real family, too. Take that, Mumfords.

"Here We Go" leaves Boys Like Girls' power-chord ways and punk-rock T-shirts behind them, going for denim button-downs and acoustic vibes. The title line "Here we go" extends into sing-along oh-oh-ohs, with the hook punctuated by the occasional "Hey!" shout. "I always that I would be a movie star," Morgan sings tenderly in the verses, but maybe he'll settle for folk hero.
Beyond "Here We Go," the band's dropped a handful of singles so far and played recent gigs in Boston and Los Angeles -- we'll bet our beards they'll be strumming at Lollapalooza before you know it.
