Meet Freekstar
Freekstar, a Newcastle upon Tyne-based band, is a fresh new face in the indie rock punk-pop scene. This Kurt and Courtney doppelganger is creating a buzz with its amazingly unique, genre-bending sound.
Best described as Neo-Nineties Electropop Punk Rock with a rebel spirit, Freekstar‘s music is an addictive blend of spacey sounds, low-fi samples, cool riffs, and quirky lyrics. Think Simple Plan, Blink 1820, Junkie XL meets Prodigy meets Garbage–and you’re only halfway up their escalator of musical influences.
Freekstar Chemical Dreams – A New Level of Neo-Nineties Indie
‘Chemical Dreams,’ their latest track, is a groovy mix of synth-wave ear candy, breakbeat, and Finnish Death Metal elements. It tells a relatable story about the aftermath of a wild night out with friends and the vow to quit craziness – a vow that may or may not last.
The song arouses curiosity with its powerful electronic groove and post-punk flavor. It’s danceable, raw, and fluctuates in its instrumentation with evocative synth swells, arpeggiated guitars, and power-chords. The signature riffs and synth phrases echo an appealing vintage-poly-moog flavour. Lending an energetic performance, lead vocals may seem hidden but serve their purpose well in setting the vibe for the song.
Freekstar Chemical Dreams is definitely an intriguing find in the indie music world, stitching together elements reminiscent of a messed-up Kurt and Courtney-esque robot thing. A stand-out for all indie party and chill playlists!
