fREEX

fREEX band is at the forefront of a new, “Free Expression” style of music that is a totally new genre. Just as Grunge sprung from the collective of spectacular 90s Seattle bands, great bands in the SF Bay Area right now are creating a sensation with new sounds. And fREEX is the reigning champ of this new scene.


Originating from the East Bay Area, fREEX has honed an alternative post punk sound that rocks. You can follow fREEX on Facebook, and check out their music on their official site, as well as iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon.

I recently had the great opportunity to interview fREEX and received some awesome answers from California:

Tersichore: What moved you to music instead of, say, financial statistics?
fREEX/Califiornia: I have always been into music. Through High school, University, and even Law School! The freedom of expression and communication of joy, angst, and rage is what makes playing music important to me.

T: How long have you been doing this?
fREEX/Califiornia: fREEX has been around for about ten years. We still find new sounds, music, stories, emotions. Hopefully each new song feels hot and fresh and urgent. Cut us off when we cover Louie Louie!

T: I'm not going to ask about your influences (because everyone asks that), but who are you listening to when you're not making music?
fREEX/Califiornia: I like new sounds and truly alternative music. Some older stuff still sounds fresh: Nirvana, Dead Kennedys, Prince. Too much Alt rock-today sounds like bad 90s rock.

T: Plans for the future?
fREEX/Califiornia: Perform and record. Delight and arouse and confront and entertain.

T: If you wanted to impress something on your listeners (or the readers of this article) what would it be?
fREEX/Califiornia: The world needs new expressions. Even commercial radio relies on finding the New New. You can seek it just as well as anyone else. Listen to a thousand songs to find a band that talks to you in a new way.
