Freaklabel
Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRE : Freaklabel
Freaklabel is a Iowa-based metalcore band. Freaklabel started as a local favorite that consistently played clubs for their first year. After gaining a reputation for their live show the band began getting requests from national acts to open their midwest tour dates. Freaklabel later recoreded a demo (in two collectable versions) which included their live closer "Gut Bucket" as well as fan favorite "Shackles". The band immediately sold out of their 2000 printed copies which not only showcased the style they pioneered, working class metal, but garnered a courtship from Prosthetic Records. In the end Freaklabel chose to stick with an independent label to keep artistic freedom. The band then started writing material for a new studio album but decided a live album, which the band is known for, was what the Gear Heads (as their fans are affectionatly referred to) wanted. On January 28, 2006 freaklabel recorded "Live & Brutal" in their hometown of Cedar Rapids in front of 500 Gear Heads at the band's favorite venue, 3rd Street Live. On the strength of the album's first single "Dissecting the Tapeworm", "Live & Brutal" was released nationally July 11th 2006. Freaklabel is currently touring the United States.
