Freeview - What's my Pill?
Review by Philippa
Freeview formed in 2001 but they're not letting that stop them. Having already toured with the likes of Kasabian, King Adora and Chikinki, Freeview are slowly but surely making a heavy impression on the soft foundations of the rock world. Sounding like a freakish cross between Foo Fighters and a roughed up Biffy Clyro amongst many other bands, their 'What's My Pill?' EP is a sure fire sign that bigger and better things are bound to come from this talented group.
Title track 'What's My Pill?' begins with that oh-so-attractive sleazy feel before bouncing into grungy vocals guaranteed to make your spine tingle. Obviously this isn't a band lacking in talent. Second track 'Pass it On' provides concrete evidence that their astounding lead in track isn't a fluke. Slightly darker and much more flamboyant, 'Pass It On' already compares to the current offerings of well established bands bouncing around the alternative charts at the moment. David Mccallion's voice is reminiscent of so many others out in the rock scene at the moment but rather than sounding like the vocalists of last week regurgitated into a new shell, his voice is pulled into dynamic shapes thanks to the powerful band behind him.
'Something's Got To Give' is darker still and fully displays Freeview's angstier, melancholy side. Despite this, the EP doesn't suffer from this slowing down. In fact, it gives the final track 'Car Crash' a greater push that heightens the already dizzy levels of excellence to something rarely seen in such a young band. A pleasure to listen to, 'What's My Pill?' hints at far, far more brilliance to be offered from this Scottish four piece.
