Free Energy is a Philadelphia, PA band which includes Scott Wells, Paul Sprangers, Evan Wells, Geoff Bucknam, and Nick Shuminksy. Wells and Sprangers were both in now-defunct Hockey Night. Free Energy weaves melodic, hook-laden rock tunes with a heavy dose of bombastic glam and classic dust.

Where the similarly hook-tastic Hockey Night was highly reminiscent of Pavement and Truman’s Water, Free Energy shares more similarities with the heroes of old: Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, Boston, Fleetwood Mac,Bruce Springsteen, La Dusseldorf and pretty much every other rock band from the canon of classic rock radio. Free Energy could be grouped in a small, but growing 70s glam revival along with Portland, OR-based contemporaries, The Nice Boys.

Via blog posts on both Hockey Night and Free Energy Myspace pages, they promised “more news, shows, a limited DFA 7” single, videos, a mockumentary, recipes, safety tips, sound legal advice, sure bets, and where to go for the best deals.”

Free Energy is signed to DFA Records. James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem produced Free Energy’s upcoming record STUCK ON NOTHING, which will be released later this winter.
Titus Andronicus
official website
myspace
Titus Andronicus is a rock and roll band from Glen Rock. In the
beginning, there were only three people in the band. At one point,
there were eleven people in the band. Today, there are five people in
the band. Titus Andronicus take their name from a minor Shakespearean
tragedy, not, as many people believe, from some sort of killer robot
from the future. Titus Andronicus formed in the spring of 2005. Titus
Andronicus released an album earlier this year on XL Recordings called
THE MONITOR. Titus Andronicus practice at Ian's house. Titus
Andronicus like to scream and carry on at excessive volume. Titus
Andronicus like songs which are fast more than songs which are slow.
Titus Andronicus think slow songs are okay sometimes. Titus Andronicus
never sing about love, only hate. Titus Andronicus have no hope for
the future. Titus Andronicus believe only in nothingness. Everyone in
Titus Andronicus was born to die. Titus Andronicus crave your approval
but will settle for your utter disdain. The enemy is everywhere.
