Philadelphia, United States (2007 – present)
Free Energy is a Philadelphia, PA band formed in 2007 which includes Scott Wells, Paul Sprangers, Evan Wells, and Nick Shuminksy. Wells and Sprangers were both in now-defunct Hockey Night. Free Energy broadcasts melodic, hook-laden rock tunes with a heavy dose of bombastic glam and classic dust.
Where the similarly hook-tastic Hockey Night was 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 beloved rock band from the canon of classic rock radio. “The Energy,” which they are not commonly referred as, draw their inspiration from the deep well of sweet a.m. radio water.
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.”
Nicky STTX, the drummer, can currently be seen in the hit viral youtube clip “WoodTalk with Nick Shuminsky.”
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 March 9th, 2010. Expect the drums to be dry, yet warm; punchy and crisp.
Free Energy offers this from their myspace: “NO RANSOM.”

I'm still in shock that these guys are from my city. It pisses me off because meanwhile I'm in my room just staring at my guitar in the corner when I could be rocking the hell out like these guys!

Wait, they're opening for Weezer?! And Weezer is playing Pinkerton in it's entirety? I guess I'm going to a Weezer show now. Didn't think I'd be saying that ten minutes ago.
