Biff!Bang!Pow! presents FREESTONE

Plus Special Guests THE STRAIGHTS + WEDNESDAY WORKS

FREESTONE After almost 40 years of friendship, three musicians have finally come together to play as Freestone, a band that emerged in its present format in late 2023. Drawing from their roots in some of Portsmouth’s iconic bands such as The Mild Mannered Janitors, The Good Time Charlies, and Painthorse, Freestone deliver a garage rock sound that’s raw and energetic. Their noisy, guitar-driven tunes will turn your head and annoyingly stick in your mind, pulling you into a wild ride that will have you heading straight to the bar for liquid accompaniment.

It’s loud, it’s catchy, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.
