ABOUT

About

“Earth Freaks have quickly cemented themselves as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most compelling up-and-coming outfits in the underground scene. The four piece, blending nostalgic elements of punk and psychedelia, have taken the last year to carefully curate and record their forthcoming sophomore album, “Learn To Enjoy Losing.” A far cry from the lo-fi, gritty sound of their self-titled debut, this release explores a previously untapped well of lush, modern, psychedelic soundscapes. Accompanied by heartfelt lyrics that carry the listener through relatable tales of romance, delusion, hardship and recovery, “Learn To Enjoy Losing" is Earth Freaks’ most ambitious, sonically-expansive record yet. Consisting of 7 tracks bound with ideas that have been brewing between Zyan Fukushima-Rael (vocals/guitar), Riley Stewart (guitar), Evans Daybell-Chambers (bass), and Max Spielman (drums) since the band was first formed.

Hailing from Victoria, BC, Earth Freaks emerged from Selkirk College’s renowned music program in late 2021. A string of independently released singles - “Heavy Sunshine,”  “Colour Tones"  and “Remedy,”  bookend their self-titled debut album, released at the end of 2022. In their developmental years of 2022/23, they toured feverishly across western Canada, including appearances at the festivals ‘Sled Island’, ‘Starbelly Jam’ and ‘Canada Rock Fest’. March of 2023 also saw the band’s first venture outside of Canada, as they brought their high energy live experience to Mexico, for a string of shows supporting reggae legends ‘Antidoping’ and ‘Los Pericos.’ This year Earth Freaks have had their nose to the grindstone, playing an assortment of shows up and down Canada’s West Coast, writing and recording “Learn To Enjoy Losing” and steadily planning for the big year of touring ahead of them in 2025. Through carefully crafted songwriting and an infectious stage presence, the group have amassed a steadily growing community of dedicated fans, and show no sign of slowing down.”
