Australian punk/hardcore band Driven Fear has announced the release of its upcoming album Freethinker on February 26 on Pee Records.
Sample single "In Care Of Pt. 2" has been made available as a tasty teaser of what to expect on the band's upcoming album . Pre-Orders can be made atPee Records' Online Store here.
Take the abrasive lead single for a spin:
2016 marks the 12th year of Driven Fear and also the follow up to 2011’s thought provoking, ‘Contender’. ‘Freethinker’ will be the 4th release through Pee records and builds upon the original mission statement and musical styling of the band. The band wants their fans to know that “With this record, we really wanted to push the boundaries while still being true to what we have always been about”.
The album was recorded and mixed by long time friend Sam Johnson (The Smith Street Band, The Bennies, Toe to Toe, Mindsnare) across three different studios and over almost 2 years.
Driven Fear's Chris Hyde says, “This is not an album about atheism, even though organised religions are a theme covered in the record, it is an album about Free Thought purely and simply and due to all five of us being involved in the writing of the music and the lyrical content, it is about our journey to understand and explore what that free thought actually means.”
‘Freethinker’ is aggressive and insightful Punk/Hardcore for fans of bands in the vein of Comeback Kid, Good Riddance and Defeater.
