Alex Bleeker and The Freaks (UPLP001!)

[Sawyer Carter Jacobs]

Alex Bleeker and The Freaks LP 

Alex Bleeker & The Freaks self titled album was recorded live on June 11th, 2009. The bulk of the session took place in the basement of Julian's childhood home, in Ridgewood, NJ. The group consists of Alex Bleeker (Real Estate), Matt Mondanile (Real Estate, Ducktails), Martin Courtney IV (Real Estate) and Julian Lynch. Some of the songs mirror the boys collective disposition, that of a gentle and warm young man. Others however, invite the listener in for a glimpse at that same boy's restless, virile soul. A sensitive type may describe it all as Raw, Live, Honest Rock and Roll with Heart. Alex Bleeker & The Freaks have been friends since High School and as healthy, red blooded American men so often choose to do, they've channeled their romantic energies into an electrified musical powerhouse. It's as classic and genuine as an adolescents Playboy collection or a fat, bald man in a Red Corvette. The Great American Rock Band captures our collective enthusiasm for life's appropriate deviances. As wiling as we all are to allow ourselves to slip into this nostalgic mindset, it is the rare band that actually forces warmth over our chests and sheepish grins around our tongues. in one breath, chords that rain like clouds of arrows accompany beignet guitar solos. While in another, Loose snares and haunted vocals, drift forward through hazy fields. Alex Bleeker & The Freaks encompass a large swatch of genuine article Rock and Roll. The band is uniquely tailored to everyone.

Underwater Peoples Records is proud to offer Alex Bleeker's passion fueled project as our first ever LP release. Built solely on love, our label strives to deliver uniquely genuine pieces of artwork. It is a special privilege to find ourselves linked to this heart felt treasure.
