How do you rebel against your parents if your dad played in a band called Betty Goes Green and your mom worked in the music business for years? The answer is easy... you don't. You start a band yourself, make it to the finals of Humo's Rock Rally three years later, land a record deal and drop a solid garagerock album at the age of sixteen. At least that's what Lenny Crabbe did along with the rest of Freaky Age.
"Every Morning Breaks Out" is filled with the kind of songs that made The Strokes big but you can just as well find traces of Television on the band's debut. Both the guitars and the vocals sound casually bored yet catchy and with a couple of killer choruses and dito guitar licks, "Every Morning Breaks Out" deserves to be head. It might not be very original but there's no real reason why Freaky Age shouldn't be a lot bigger by the time they outgrow puberty.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
