SUMMARY:EARTH FREAKS!
DESCRIPTION:Since forming in 2021\, Earth Freaks have worked at a feverish rate and continued to push themselves in a fashion that can be described as nothing short of miraculous.  \n\nThe four piece\, which trained at Selkirk College’s renowned music program\, has shown no signs of slowing down from the time of its inception. A jam-packed Summer in 2023 saw constant touring around Vancouver Island\, British Columbia’s Interior and Alberta\, including performances at Sled Island in Calgary\, MASSiF Music Festival in Nelson and RED Mountain Ski Resort’s first annual ‘Between The Peaks’ festival.  \n  \nThe release of two singles in August of ’22- Heavy Sunshine and Colour Tones – proved to be sound evidence of the engaging\, feel good songwriting that is characteristic of Earth Freaks\, and was followed up by a full length debut album at the end of the year. March 2023 saw the release of the group’s latest single\, the fan favourite ‘Remedy\,’ as well as their first venture outside of Canada as they brought their high-energy live experience to Mexico for a run of shows supporting reggae legends\, ‘Antidoping’ and ‘Los Pericos.’
