Free Energy Set Release Date for Debut LP


freeenergy

They signed to James Murphy’s DFA Records, have been compared to Cheap Trick and Thin Lizzy, and forsaken sleeves. Now Philadelphia’s Free Energy are finally releasing their debut LP, Stuck on Nothing. Backed by dazed and confused burners like “Free Energy” and the Marc Bolan-inspired “Dream City,” the throwback five-piece have already collected their fair share of hype on the ole’ blogosphere. If those aforementioned singles are any indication, Stuck on Nothing should be chock-full of 70s-styled boogie.

Free Energy – “Dream City”

You can’t accuse me of it if I admit it first: I’m jumping on a bandwagon. You can’t call me a follower if I just don’t care. You can’t bring me down when I’m pumping out “Dream City”, the awesome new jam from recently DFA-signed feel-gooders Free Energy.
