About Me

Where life has no value, a deadly tune, sometimes, has its price. That is why the ‘Freebooting Profiteers’ appeared.Freebooting Profiteers we're a power-pop/garage-pop band based in Leeds, and were active between 2004 to 2007. They self released three singles and a mini album, that gathered plenty of airplay on freeform radio and they gathered some good reviews. Many thanks to those who supported Freebooting Profiteers over the past three years.
