FreeFall - S/T 1991 hard rock indie/demo (This is some good stuff!)

[whiplash1972]

Stumbled across these guys recently on YouTube, and LOVE what I hear.

As best I can tell, these songs are from a demo released in 1991

FreeFall - S/T 

1. Rock U Down
2. Hard Ride
3. Feels Like Love
4. Dangerous
5. She Goes Down (Live)

Rob Valentine - Lead Vocals, Keys

Jim Miller - Guitar, Vocals

Ed Nowak - Guitar, Vocals

Mike Gingrich - Bass, Vocals

Mike McCarron - Drums, Vocals

"Rock U Down"

 

"Hard Ride"

 

"Feels Like Love"

 

@Delbert Would you happen to have this demo, or at least heard of them before? Any info on them? There's a Mike Gingrich who played bass in Toronto and Max Webster... same guy possibly? 

@Geoff @metalmaniac777 @heavyharmonies Would love your opinions on this one; I mean, am I crazy, or is this a notch above most of the demo/indie stuff you run across?

No, you're not crazy--that's a really good find, several notches above some of the mega-rare gems we all hunted for back in the day. "Hard Ride" was filler material, but "Rock it Down" and "Feels Like Love" are melodic hard rock gems.

Just when you think you've heard every band out there, along comes a sweet surprise like this.

That same Rob Valentine, who played Zinatra.. Then solo albums.

I don’t think so.

Yeah, no way they're his vocals. Plus, if it was him we'd have heard about this for sure. 

Anyway, 100%, this sounds awesome. I'm hearing Hotboy in some of the guitar tone, and vocalist is definitely ringing a few similarity bells too. Good production too for an indie EP. I definitely want to hear it all. Nice find.

Not bad, I wouldn't pay a hundred dollars for it just guessing on value but the tunes are decent and heavy. I've never heard of them either so cool find.
