Free Energy

Add Date: March 23

Artist: Free Energy

Album: Stuck On Nothing

Label: Astralwerks/DFA

Genre: Rock

Comments: Poppy, melodic rock. Free Energy's Stuck On Nothing is a super upbeat record filled with hooks and hand-clapping moments: the 70s influences are audible and Thin Lizzy comparisons abide, but the group seems so unpretentious about it all that it works--the arena rock aspects, the sax line on "Dream City" and the grooves felt on "Band Pop". Uncomplicated but honest music that's a picker-upper for sure and definitely appropriate for our incoming warmer weather. Start with tracks 2, 3, and 5.
