Los Angeles band The Freeks know that as the Earth revolves the Sun and the universe infinitely expands, it must be shared with as many different kinds of life as there are stars, a bold statement coming from a bunch of Freeks. This is not a new concept, however; it is an ever-recurring one dating back to Ezekiel's biblical account, and even further back with evidence from ancient Egypt and Mayan times. After 4000 years, the theory continues strong as we enter 2018. The Freeks also enter 2018 with the completion of Crazy World, their fourth album and second for Italian-based Heavy Psych Sounds Records. Crazy World is a studio record with eight songs that take you on a psychedelic journey from hidden moonlit distilleries all the way up to the mother ship and back down to Mother Earth. It could have happened in 2700 B.C. and it's definitely happening again now as The Freeks continue to ferment their ethanol-infused fuzz rock, their songwriting reflecting heavier content and extra-added amounts of psychoactive chemicals from the minds of their listeners. Ruben Romano (founding member of Fu Manchu and Nebula) returns at the helm supported by Bob Lee on drums (Claw Hammer, Mike Watt), Esteban Chavez on keys, Jonathan Hall on guitar (Backbiter) and introducing the latest Freek on bass, Ray Piller (Biblical Proof of U.F.O.'s). Crazy World also features some amazing musical guests that add to the insanity and continue The Freeks' 'All Are Welcome' legacy. It has ripping guitar leads by Ray Hanson (Thee Hypnotics), added keys and synth from returning Freek alumni Glenn Slater (The Walkabouts and Wellwater Conspiracy), added bass lines by Crazy World producer Rainer Fraenkel (The Miracle Mongers) plus backing vocals by singer/model Sara Loera.

Everything has a beginning, whether it by accident or by design. A journey consists of trials and errors until finally reaching a full circle - ever evolving, revolving over and over again. Set in constant motion, the gathering of speed reaching ultimate vibrations until it's all shattered! This can also be said in regards to Los Angeles, California based quintet The Freeks as they return from yet another complete orbit with their third full length album, Shattered. What started as an accident, brought on a thought, which then began a project that grew into a solidified unit of sonic purification. The Freeks, led by Ruben Romano, have consistently moved upward since their conception in 2007 and have gracefully matured since their first self-titled album in 2008 on Cargo Records. While the initial project collaborated with players from around world, in 2010, Romano gathered together a more local unit of musicians, all baked under the LA heat, to achieve a consistent flow of creation. This was followed by The Freeks critically acclaimed 2013 sophomore album Full On, released on the band's very own label Freek Flag Records. Now in 2016, The Freeks prepare to sling shot and extend the trajectory of their already existing orbital path by joining forces with Heavy Psych Sounds to release this latest revolution. The Freeks are fully ready to shake it until it's all shattered. Since The Freeks issued their aptly-titled sophomore full-length Full On, their reputation as a vibrant live act has only grown. Shattered is a mix of the old Nebula style, mixing heavy fuzz riffs of desert rock n roll with a fresh breath of a new wave, adding synthesizers, keyboards and more arrangements. Features ex-members of Fu Manchu and Nebula.
