Just one year after this group of tight-knit high-school acquaintances formed The Friday Night Boys, they decided to self-record The Sketch Process EP and distribute it online—but even The Friday Night Boys themselves were surprised by the way it took off considering that they only played regional shows at that point. “I put it on iTunes and the first month we had a decent amount of hits, but second month we had a whole lot of hits and it just kept increasing,” Goldstein explains. The EP would go on to be the catalyst for the band’s appearance on MTV’s Total Request Live’s “On Your Radar” segment for unsigned bands.
