Freedom Faction

About Me

Here's what a recent reviewer said about FF:
"Cambridge girl-fronted no messing old school street punk band. Four of em, three rather large beefy males and a pink haired girl called Rhianna Milton. Tuneful yet shouty '77 style punk rock with a poppy hook or two here and then. Think raw basic no messing Pistols, X-Ray Spex, Vibrators, Vice Squad, Blondie flavoured delivered with straight ahead right on your toes in your face chav-girl baiting style. No messing, proper basic punk, don't think they'd claim to be doing anything radically different, they're laced with the right attitude, sound like they'd be a blast live".... www.organart.com
Freedom Faction is Nick Grant, Jez Arnold (aka Strang), Rhianna Milton and Tom Maddox. Nick and Strang used to be in the now defunct Out of Nowhere. Strang has upgraded from keyboards to guitar - look out Steve Jones!! There's a harder sound this time and the stunning female vocals make us stand out from the crowd. The tracks here are from the EP "We Present You With These..." which is available now. We'll be out and about gigging near you soon...... Come along to a gig and get blown away.....
New 5-track CD "We Present You With These" now available.
Only £2.50 free p&p!!
"CD is sounding ace - love it, love it, love it - great vocals, great tunes...." - fungalpunk
"I strongly urge everyone to buy freedom faction's cd..it is fucking great, well worth the 2.50" - Roblawless666
"We like it very much indeed.It sounds to us like The Dickies & The Toy Dolls produced a bastard child after an unwise night on the piss. This is a GOOD thing." DEaTH DiScO
Message us for details or better still come to a gig & pick one up.
