From the minds, bodies and magic muscles of Nick Scragg, Chris Geiss, Ron Santee and Javier Domingo comes FREE THIS!
- The band sort of spawned from a whole BUNCH of local NJ bands including -Predator Dub Assassins, BOmBToWN, Atlas Surrenders and The NJ Up Sessions. I (Ron) was singing and playing percussion with Chris in 2006/2007 with a 9 nine piece dancehall/reggae/ska band.
The Up Sessions got REALLY LUCKY and played a string of killer with shows with bands like The Dropkick Murphys, The Aggrolites, Flogging Molly, Murphys Law, and Inspector 7!! When the band broke up in early 08', Chris and myself decided to tap into more of a rock n roll vibe.
We linked up with longtime jam buddy of Chris, Javier Domingo, a wicked bass player who has been honing his skills for a while. So the three of us got together and within the span of like a month we had about 5 tunes! At first I was playing drums and singing but I decided to contact my long time buddy Nick Scragg of Bombtown to take the thrown so I could go off and be a wierdo songwriter type-
After a few months we were already playing shows at places like The Saint, Asbury Lanes, and Chubbys with pretty good overall confidence of the way it felt to play together, it feels really good, great energy! Right now we are in the studio trying to get some songs on wax for the people!
With a falling economy and recessions, depressions, laxidazical elections and too much TV for the mind to handle, the ART, MUSIC, CULTURE and UNITY of us PEOPLE is the MOST important thing to have.
So keep an eye out for our name FREE THIS! -Free your self, free this mind, free your body, free your soul cos we have come to play you an EARFUL of good ROCK N ROLL!!
-Thanks for checkin us out!
-Ron, Nick, Chriss, and Jav
