   About FREER
In the summer of 2005 songwriter Jeremy Freer asked his brother Jeffery to play some songs with him. They were soon blessed with Nick Adams and Mike Latcha to form what is now, FREER. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

"Secret Chorus will make you want to kick a bully's ass, get your dance on, and make out with someone in a closet all at the same time." TRIPWIRE.COM REVIEW

"Freer easily mixes musical genres -- even within a song."CURRENT MAGAZINE REVIEW

"Sincere pop poetry — rough and tumble punk influences mixed with classy R&B and swinging, sultry blues ballads..." REAL DETROIT REVIEW

"The band plays off their punk and soul influences, ranging from the MC5 to Smokey Robinson." DETROITBUZZ.COM REVIEW

"The lyrics are unsettling and while many before them have complained about the state of our society, Freer do so with a passion-fuelled urgency that’d be hard to ignore by any human being, assuming they have a heart." EXLAIM.CA Review

"......when the music is as powerful as this."DETOUR.COM (Cityfest 2007 live review)

"Some will talk about the up tempo, then some of the down tempo. Some will reference the early punk influence, while others point out the obvious nod to vintage soul. We’re pretty sure that you’re best bet is to pick up a copy of their LP for yourself."FIVETHREEDIALTONE.COM INTERVIEW & PODCAST

"But for as dreamy and enthralling as their songs are, Freer’s lyrics often conjure darker imagery..."REAL DETROIT "HOT" BAND OF 2007 INTERVIEW

"An ethereal dream— like the Northern Lights hovering over you with declarative piano melodies that can sweep as the preludes of Chopin but bounce with such poppy-energetic allure, basslines with a superb, sophisticated shuffle, percussion that feels radical and detached like a delicate machine gun, and guitar solos that can rip your face off one minute and then, like the wispy flick of a hand, swoon your ears into some hallucinogenic paradise."- REAL DETROIT INTERVIEW

"Punk rock wasn't always necessarily about loud power chords and screaming dudes with Mohawks. Once upon a time, artists like the Clash and Elvis Costello played tuneful pop-rock that was nevertheless impacting in its own way, defying expectations and smashing boundaries. Detroit's Freer seeks to follow in their footsteps." - U of M's MICHIGAN DAILY

"Jeremy Freer has old blues songs stuck in his head, and a collage of the cover art from Elvis Costello’s first seven albums. But he’s a vintage soul guy, too, and R&B, and he’s at the head of a band that’s been busy injecting fervor back into contemporary music. Keyboards, bass, drums, guitar — it doesn’t sound that unconventional. But come out and watch it happen, because it’s the way Freer twist their songs into and out of pop that really grabs the ears. (And the mind.) And the lyrics? Wow, love is tough in the 21st century, isn’t it? DETOUR.COM

I just got an album called Old School Funk. Even though I thought the title was a bit vague.
