Freudian Slip are Lewis (Vocals), Reg (lead guitar), Dan (drums), Tim (bass) and Craig (rhythm guitar). All 24 years old, these lads have been in their current line-up for a little under a year, and have all been friends since high school. This long-time friendship makes for a solid band dynamic which comes across via tight performances in their recordings, and I can imagine would be even more apparent on stage.
Freudian Slip are a little bit different from your average unsigned act, perhaps related to the fact that their rehearsal space is a room full of stuffed animals, aptly named the Deadroom. Slightly more original than the usual common or garden garage or bedroom used by most aspiring rock stars.
Musically, they are reminiscent of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They have the same funkiness and driving melodies that make the Chilis so popular, but take a more updated, British-sounding approach. Their MySpace uploads consist of five tracks, 'Make Amends', 'Indifferently', 'Tails of the Slo' and 'All or Bust' and 'Pieces of Me'. My personal picks are 'Indifferently', whose stripped back sound and well-written lyrics are appealing, and 'Pieces of Me', which takes a gentler approach.
