Freakbaby...the heartbeat of Connecticut

Here's another band that made the Connecticut scene in the early 90's and touts an impressive lineage that ties in with the likes of 76% Uncertain among others. I really find this stuff to be very unique and would love to have heard more recordings from this group. Fortunately I do have this one 45 to share and I will be curious to see your comments. Go ahead, after all, it's a Freak country...

Freakbaby

Freakbaby - "Full Size" (45 rpm)

Thanks for the kind words. The 7" isn't really called "Full Size, that's just our obtuse artwork. It's great to see more attention being paid to the Danbury scene in early 90s. Lotta great bands that nobody got to hear.

I really need to digitize more of our stuff, if you want to hear it let me know.
