SELLING POINTS:
One of the most noticed and cherished rock records in 2021 was the debut album from Freedom, the Swedish band who, with their sunny working-class rock, succeeded in the art of sounding completely full-fledged and complete at once. This is the difficult second album.

The reference points are many (Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are just two of the many names that tend to come up), but no one else sounds like Freedom.

Freedom was handpicked to play at The Hellacopter's official release party at the historic Hamburger Börs in Stockholm. Freedom played the new Hellacopters album, every song!

The album is produced by Martin "Konie" Ehrencrona (Viagra Boys, Håkan Hellström, Les Big Byrd).

OVERVIEW:

Freedom is deeply rooted in the working-class rock of the 70's and 80's, giving us a sound like no other. With meaningful lyrics, power chords and mighty choruses, they're inevitably creating a soundtrack to the journey of life itself. Nicke Andersson once described Freedom as a "bargain basement Springsteen" - a band making music meant to follow you through thick and thin, far into those never-ending summer nights.
Since Freedom first started in 2019, they've established themselves as an amazing live act, filling clubs throughout Sweden with both energy and audience. In 2022 they were honorably chosen to play at the official release party of The Helicopters at the notorious Hamburger Börs in Stockholm.

The band recently added two new members to the crew: Ola Göransson (Heavy Feather, Stacie Collins) and Matte Gustafsson (In Solitude, Siena Root, Heavy Feather). Their combined experience of heavy roots-rock and sense of stage presence, makes Freedom one of Swedens strongest live bands - guaranteed.
Their self-titled debut album from 2021 became a great topic of conversation, leaving a permanent mark in the rock-world of Sweden. Finally, it's time for the awaited second album to be released - once again produced by Martin "Konie" Ehrencrona (Viagra Boys, Håkan Hellström and Les Big Byrd).
