Freehold Revival have now finished recording at Toybox Studios. The new tracks have been produced by the band and Stef Hambrook, mixed down and are now complete and made to our own recipe: bitter-sweet, slack, country rock and a pocket full of catchy choruses.
For those who are new to the band, part of Freehold Revival's roots lie in High
Coin. A Bristol band who got some Radio 1 and NME action. Others of us were in bands around Manchester and Cambridge before migrating to Bristol.
