Maybe there are a million bands making Cheap Trick/Thin Lizzy-style rock these days, but most of them, we are guessing, are made up of dudes with bald-tops and girlfriends whose saggy bellies hang precariously out of the front of their tank tops, not skinny Evan Dando types who dance like your 6-year-old niece trying to copy the latest Ciara video. The latter is what Free Energy is and that is why we like them, aside from the fact that they do what they do really well and James Murphy makes it sound like the last couple decades didn’t really need to happen.
