Bang! Pop! Free Energy!


TNOP's UK pop and jazz correspondent Miles Gallagher reports that his pick-to-click band of 2010, Free Energy, after making a quick hit in the Far East, will spend the rest of the summer bouncing back and forth between North America and the UK.

In the interim, the group found time to cut a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm Going Down." The tune will be part of a split 7" single sold exclusively at concert venues.

The Philadelphia power pop quartet is toiling on the road in support of the James Murphy (DFA/LCD Soundsystem) produced Stuck On Nothing. This time round they are sharing the bill (and the 7" split single) with critic's darlings Titus Andronicus.

TNOP caught Free Energy at the Daytrotter show back in April (click for our review here) and gave them a hardy thumbs up. Here's the tour schedule:
