*With one of their largest lineups yet, it’s clear that Freakout Fest isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. More than ever, this year showcased the impact of alternative music movements. Bands used their place on stage to draw attention to the current f**kery of global destruction derived from broken political systems. Festival-goers often turned to each other during sets, nodding their heads in agreement at lyrics that may have previously drifted out the door. The weekend served as a stunning reminder of the social impact (and responsibility) of music to speak to the masses. Long live Freakout, and long live rock ‘n’ roll.*

“At once a label, a concert series and a self-described “spiritual exchange,” the multifaceted labor of love was founded in 2017 by polymathic producer Adrian Younge alongside concert producer Andrew Lojero, industry veteran Adam Block, and frequent collaborator Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest.“

The new album ‘Scheduled Explosions’ arrives this Friday. Power-pop expert Peter Gill has been previewing the LP in threes; in September, he unleashed the first batch of singles, and the second came two weeks ago. Now, he’s releasing one final trio of earworms: “Triple Bypass In B-Flat,” “Instant Nostalgia,” and “Sophomores In The Wild.”

“even considering his prolific two-plus decades of making music covering as much ground as it does, Window in the Rhythm still feels like a breakthrough moment, Thomas surveying times long past through seven mostly lengthy songs—only one of them under five minutes, and just barely—that survey his own transformation, scars cultivated and wisdom earned. It’s his most emotionally raw statement, beautifully written and gracefully executed.” on the new album from !
