Free Energy – Bang Pop

• 10th Aug 2010

Following on from the critical success of their SxSW jaunt and off the back of their recent performance at the Pitchfork 2010 festival, Philly five-piece FREE ENERGY are set to release 2nd single ‘BANG POP’ through Virgin UK on September 6th.

Bang Pop is taken from debut album ‘Stuck On Nothing’ (out now) which was released through DFA in the states and produced by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, the sound of the album takes its cues from the feelgood FM rock of the 70s and 80s. The Cars, Tom Petty, Thin Lizzy, The Steve Miller Band –FREE ENERGY wear their references on their sleeve to great aplomb. Although, more well-known for his cutting edge electronica, James Murphy said, “I loved making that record. It was so good to record guitars again. I kind of forgot that I used to be really good at that — recording guitars.”

The 2nd single to be taken from the album ‘BANG POP’ will be available digitally on Sept 6th.

Free Energy play Summer Sonic, Japan in Aug before heading out to support Titus Andronicus on their North American tour throughout August and September.

On top of all this the guys manage to squeeze in a debut performance at the Reading (29.08) and Leeds (28.08) festival.
