  • Indie Rock duo Freedom Fry shares appropriate song for the times: Listen to ‘Tell Me It’ll Be Alright’

    Right now, more than any other time in my life, people are looking for the silver lining in the sky. People are rightfully panicking and uncertain of their futures, but a song like Freedom Fry’s makes us feel hopeful. Also, the construct of the record makes us feel like we’re riding in the hills, the sun is shining, the air is clean, and we’re singing along with smiles on our faces. It takes us back to a world where seemed to be okay. People weren’t sick and dying at rapid rates. The “invisible enemy” didn’t exist.

    Opening the song with lyrics that coincidentally speak to what can potentially be our experiences post COVID-19, ‘Tell Me It’ll Be Alright’ helps me to remain calm, optimistic and grateful for my current situation. We hope that everyone is safe, healthy, and doing that part to help us get to the silver lining we want and need. Check out the song that the duo recorded before lockdown in California State. Joey Waronker (Beck, Atoms for Peace) played the drums. Ben Collins (Frontman of Polyvinyl artist Minihorse) played the electric guitar.

    If you’ve never been to California, Freedom Fry’s record might make you want to see what the big deal is. Recently, Bruce Driscoll and Marie Seyrat moved to LaLa Land to pursue their dreams of making it in the music business. When asked about what inspired the songwriting, they shared the following:

    ‘West Coast’ is about trying to swim towards your dreams amidst all the sharks around you.

    Now, if that isn’t deep like the blue sea, I don’t know what is. Stream the lead single from the duo’s unreleased and unnamed album. All of the songs from the album were recorded at different places in California. ‘West Coast’ was made at “a bungalow at the famed Chateau Marmont, [which is] the hotel where comedy legend John Belushi died.” Who doesn’t enjoy music with a theme and reason?
