Free Energy – Something In Common + Tour Dates

Free Energy   Something In Common + Tour Dates listen

“Something in Common” is the b-side on Free Energy’s eponymous debut single. DFA is selling a super limited 7″ on their online store. “Free Energy,” along with the summer jams “Dream City” and “Dark Trance” will be found (hopefully) on Free Energy’s forthcoming debut album, Stuck on Nothing.

With “Something In Common,” the Free Energy boys continue to channel the Strokes while still managing to sound completely fresh and exciting (hey, nice bassline). Albeit not as fresh and exciting as the A-track, “Free Energy.” I heard these Philly natives put on a great show at After The Jump fest, and will be hitting a couple of CMJ stages in NYC in October. But fret not non-NYers, Free Energy is on tour and is prepping a brand spankin’ new EP, which will be sold on tour and online. Before I show you the tour dates, check out “Something In Common”

Free Energy – Free Energy (Music Video)

YouTube Preview Image
The fine boys over at Free Energy have made a great music video for their eponymous single, “Free Energy.”

This song is a perfect listen for the days when you can feel summer winding down, washing off shore. It’s time to do something. Pretty soon we will be bundle our necks with scarves to stop the shivering and we will wonder where summer has gone.

Free Energy will be around to tell us to get over it and sing along.

Free Energy – Dark Trance

Free Energy   Dark Trance listen
Here is another track off Free Energy’s upcoming debut album, Stuck on Nothin’. DFA’s Free Energy continue to deliver the hooky, classic rock goodness with “Dark Trance,” this time soaring above their current 7″ self-titled single.

Just a note, “Dark Trance” is streaming on Free Energy’s Myspace and Facebook pages, but when I saw it on my inbox today, the mp3 was tagged with “Midnight Sun” as the title. I’m going to go with “Dark Trance,” but I wouldn’t be surprised if its changed by the time the LP is out.

Even though “Dark Trance” is a goodie, but I doubt anything they write will be as great as “Dream City.” Listen to it here. Continue reading →

Free Energy – Free Energy 7″

Free Energy   Free Energy 7 listen
Free Energy, the band, have just released an mp3 for “Free Energy,” the song. “Free Energy” can be found on Free Energy’s debut 7″ out on July 21st on DFA. The single will be backed by “Something In Common” and will be limited to 350 copies.

If you remember, Free Energy were responsible for the great, great summer jam “Dream City.” The new single never quite reaches the excellence that is drenched in “Dream City,” but it’s still a great hooky track, tinged with that muddy garage-band feel that made you fall in love with the Strokes and Little Joy.

Free Energy – Dream City

Free Energy   Dream City listen
Before I say anything, just be warned… once you download this song, you will, and I mean you will have it stuck on your head and be singing along like a fool which might cause you embarrassment.

Philly’s Free Energy is the fantastic new talent signed onto DFA. “Dream City,” the first single from the band’s forthcoming debut, Stuck on Nothin’, oozes city fun outside that so-hipster realm that seems to follow city fun around. I suggest you catch on fast, because Free Energy will be riding the Pitchfork and James Murphy hype train all the way to the big leagues, and as far as I can tell, they belong there. Here are a few dates to catch them live.
