(Boston, MA) BWH Music Group Announces Erich Mrak’s Song “Fake It” Has Been Selected for ‘That Summer, Volume 2’, A Sizzling Summer Compilation Album That Features Best Independent Artists in the World.
About "Freedom"
From the album “Into The Light” (released to coincide with cannabis legalization in Canada) comes the energetic single “Freedom.” Angie (vocals and guitar ) wrote the lyrics based on a conversation she had with Dan (guitar). The two band members wrote the music together and brought it to the rest of the band to arrange - Daniel added bass and Pat layed down the drums and percussion.
The song talks about the drug war and how the police have become militarized in the U.S. Estimates range that anywhere from 45,000 to 80,000 SWAT team home invasions occur per year, mostly to enforce the “Drug War” or other victimless crimes. "Freedom" was recorded at Jingletown Studios (Green Day's studios) with their engineer, Lee Bothwick. The track was produced by Gordon Brislawn and Crooked Flower. Freedom is something we think a lot about in the Summer and around the world, freedom can easily be taken away.
Freedom "will make you melt with its wah-wah guitar solo and it’s hopping rhythm section. “Dang sings, “Thank God for the government, for taking care of me” with the conviction and prowess of a rock icon like Robert Plant. The musicianship is so god damn legit. Every piece from the drums to the wild guitar work and the foundation with the funky bass is perfect. - Alternative Nation
