THE FREEKS
The Freeks sophomore effort comes at you “Full On” and proudly proclaims, The Freeks are back for more! The Freeks return to the raw essentials of their punk rock roots and mix it with their stoner rock legacy to create a fresh blend of high-octane psychedelic punk rock’n’roll!
“This album can’t be recommended enough. The spaced jams are free and tight. The punk jams are tight but loose. The whole thing is fun!” – Heavyplanet.net
The energy and spontaneity of The Freeks highly acclaimed live performance can be heard on Full On thanks to the fact that the core 7 tracks of the album were captured on the first take! The band has recently delivered their blistering live show alongside acts such as Mudhoney, Fu Manchu and Honky.
Full On was pre-funded and launched via Kickstarter through an ever growing “Loyal Order of The Freeks” fan base. Several college and web radio stations have featured Full On in its entirety, uncut and uninterrupted. In addition, the young album has been awarded with enthusiastic reviews from various heavy rock publications and blogs.
“‘Full On’ is a spectacular offering!” – Vincebus Eruptum
“The incendiary rock’n’roll of the Motor City Five + the burning attack of The Stooges have left a burning legacy that few bands have ever managed to equal. But – and this is a big “but” – The Freeks have taken the banner and produced an album full of passion and high-octane punk rock’n’roll that many bands have tried before but never with such results as this.” – Black Insect Laughter
Led by Ruben Romano (founding member of FuManchu and Nebula) and supported by Bob Lee on drums (Mike Watt, Backbiter), Tom Davies on bass (Nebula), Esteban Chavez on keys, and Jonathan Hall on guitar (Angry Samoans, Backbiter), the band has created an energized and timeless album in Full On that is crafting its own fiery and psychedelic legacy with every spin.
“VE readers know very well that the band of Ruben Romano (founding member of FuManchu and Nebula) is a favourite of this reviewer and I’ve been waiting for ‘Full On’ for a long time. I want to start saying that my expectations have been outdone.” – Vincebus Eruptum
The Freeks were conceived in 2007 when Romano contacted a handful of talented friends from across the globe including Jack Endino, John McBain (Monster Magnet), Scott Reeder (Kyuss), Isaiah Mitchell (Earthless), Lorenzo Woodrose (Baby Woodrose) and the Purple Wizard of Woo, Bernie Worell (Parliament, Funkadelic, Talking Heads) and collaborated to contribute to Romano’s musical ideas. Together, the freek alliance spawned a self-titled debut release supported by Cargo-Germany records.
Crawling out of a 3 year hibernation with new tunes, Romano has regrouped with his new band of Freeks and is delivering raw, unrefined, screaming fuzzed psychedelic rock’n’roll music that is dream bent with tension and laced with Full On passion.
