FreeK - Punishment
High-energy pop punk quartet Freek hailing from Lancashire have certainly caught my ears with their very unique and intense sound.
Their debut EP Punishment is new music to my ears, their sound is sound is very unique and it is like nothing I have heard before. Starting off with the track Valley Of Sound is a great way to grab the listener’s attention for those few minutes as the song plays; I found it stopped me from whatever I was doing. This is a great sign when a band can produce a song like this early on in their career. I also like their eclectic sound for each song; I also think that this is a key aspect that shows the band will go far.
I can hear influences from Rammstein and pop punk within the music; this fusion creates a sound like no other. It is understandable why they have been known to play to a mosh audience.
Overall a band to look out for this year; you could be seeing them at the next metal festival.
