On 'Freak Frequency,' Chicago band Stuck (stuckchi) perfect their post-punk sneer. Read bcsalmon's review:
released right at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the band’s profile rose significantly thanks to its 2021 EP, which established them as promising post-punkers with an irrepressible ambitious streak., Obis and his mates—bassist David Algrim, drummer Tim Green and guitarist Donny Walsh—deliver on that promise by upping the production and turning their knotty tunes into strapping, sharply cornered bangers.
Elsewhere, “Lose Your Cool” finds Stuck at their poppiest, using a catchy stuttering guitar lick to counteract Obis’ lyrics about guilt, stress and anxiety, while the title track sets the album’s main theme—America is crumbling and taking us all down with it—to a galloping disco-punk rhythm that will, at least, give us something to dance to as it happens.
