Free Energy – Stuck On Nothing

Who said Indie music can’t be catchy?

Free Energy is a five-piece Philadelphia based power pop-rock band led by brothers Scott and Evan Wells. The band's first release, “Stuck On Nothing,” will drop on May 4th via DFA Records. Having had a few brief conversations about the album, I can only describe it as "Blue Record Weezer meets Thin Lizzy meets The Cars”, which makes absolutely no sense until you have a listen. This album is consistent from end-to-end as it brings a more up-beat vibe to the table both lyrically and rhythmically. I tried to dig up as much live footage as possible but it was a little sparse. In watching these videos, it looks like there’s a bit of Mick Jagger stage presence going on.
