freer.jpgFounded by brothers Jeff and Jeremy Freer, the namesake band is the latest Detroit band looking to make our hometown proud in the near and hopefully long term future. Formed in 2005, Freer has just recently released their debut record Secret Chorus and is playing numerous shows in the area in the near future.

The band plays off their punk and soul influences, ranging from the MC5 to Smokey Robinson. Freer creates a laid back and melodic vibe on songs such as the opening cut “Long Road Home”, and goes for 70s style vibes on “I Think You Know.” The band also takes the tempo down for introspective material such as “Dreams Disappear” and “The Ground is Too Close.” The listener can almost get a strong classic rock feel from the Doors-esque highlight track “Carnival Hardcore.” With their new album, the band delves into the issues of the day, such as war and natural disasters to help fuel the creativity from the band as well.

Freer just played a show with past Detroit Buzz artist spotlight featured group Tigercity at the Lager House. The group has a slew of dates, including a benefit for Mott Children’s Hospital this week. Freer will also play venues in Ann Arbor and Detroit throughout the late spring and summer.

So, if you’re planning on checking out one of the newest and already hardest working bands in Detroit, check out what Freer has to offer.


Freer will be playing the following dates in Detroit & Ann Arbor in upcoming months:

April 28th- Northern Lights Lounge- Detroit

May 17th- Blind Pig- Ann Arbor

June 1st- Lager House- Detroit

July 27th- Magic Stick- Detroit
