We’ve been kind of hyped up on Free Energy for awhile now, enough so we interviewed them back in December before their album dropped. Well their debut Stuck On Nothing is finally out, and it was well worth the wait — shouldn’t surprise, given it was produced by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and released on his impeccably curated DFA label. The new video for their single “Bang Pop” was released this morning, which was shot in a middle school just outside of the band’s homebase of Philadelphia. Hopefully it’ll provide you a burst of much-needed pep to start a long work week…
