Freed (psych rock / Denmark)


Freed was founded by singer and guitarist Leif Frederiksen in 1968, who asked friends and schoolmates if they wanted to join a band. Like many other bands at the time they were just a bunch of teenagers who wanted to play rock'n roll. When founded the band had an average age of 16. The band started as Free, but since the UK group with the same name got quite big and famous ahead of our Free, they changed the name into Freed.

Unreleased studio tapes from 1970 that contains swirling organ, fuzz guitars and melancholic 
vocals, English lyrics, inspired by the Doors, Santana and John Mayall. 

From 1968-71 Freed toured heavily in Denmark, Sweden and Germany without leaving any sort of mark in Danish rock history. 
A completely unknown and missing gem of the very varied sound of Danish underground rock scene in the 60's- 70's.
