Freekbass is a 7 piece all out funk ensemble led by Chris Sherman who is the “Freekbass.” Named as such by his mentor & record producer Bootsy Collins. This is the band that carries on the funk tradition of the most upbeat dance music of James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic and of course Bootsy, and they do it with an original and highly recognizable style. There's a showy hard rocking edge to this Cincinnati outfit

They have some excellent young recording techs from the MTSU recording cabal working with them.. ( MTSU, a state university just south of Nashville with a big recording industry curriculum.) Their beautifully hand made EP “Searching for the Crank Tank” Starts out sounding like “Primus” but progresses through several different heavy styles.

MC Frontalot., isn't what I would've branded “nerdcore” but he sure claims he is, over & over in his music which I won't call just “rap” because it's way too musical, and the home made digital production is top notch. It's a hoot & well worth a listen. Someone I turned on to MC Frontalot said it sounds like if Zappa were a rapper. This proves that white people can be funny & have serious rhythm too.
