New Video: Free Energy - "Bang Pop"

Bang Pop

FREE ENERGY | MySpace Music Videos

Are we done listening to this record yet? Close, but the summer weather could cause a listening resurgence. Easily one of the catchiest tunes off of Stuck on Nothing, "Bang Pop" definitely gets the job done. These guys are still smoking too much pot (see their live show.) Drop the joint. Take a shot and more rock will come. Tons of tour dates after the jump.

Free Energy Live, Live

Free Energy (Live at KEXP) -- "Bad Stuff"

Morning all. An exciting week is upon us as Free Energy returns to NYC with back-to-back shows this Thursday (Mercury Lounge, NYC) and Friday (Knitting Factory, Brooklyn) both with Foreign Born supporting. Their debut record Stuck on Nothing dropped digitally yesterday, but physically on May 4 (Astralwerks/DFA Records.) Some are calling these skinny-jeaned Philadelphians (although the lead guitarist has a major Charlie Bucket thing going on) the Darkness of '10; they drop the falsetto, but keep the crotch rock. Simply put, this album makes you want to party and maybe break a table while doing so. In anticipation of their upcoming NYC shows, we offer you the above live track from a recording the Free Energy boys did for KEXP/Seattle, WA. Enjoy
