Toronto Unplugged

Album Launch: The Free Press @ The Horseshoe

by Mike on July 10th, 2008

THE FREE PRESS launch their debut full-length album ‘HALF TRUTHS & WHOLE LIES‘, at the Horseshoe FRIDAY JULY 11. Doors at 9PM. $8 at the door.

The Free Press’ have worked long and hard at preparing for the debut of their first full-length album, which is out independently this week.

This unapologetically-pop group goes against the grain in choosing to write songs about relevant political and social issues, matching the lyrics with an upbeat tempo and catchy hooks. It’s a refreshing take on feel-good music.

The band sets a good example of social responsibility; even the packaging of the new album is made entirely of renewable materials.

A bit about The Free Press…

Toronto’s The Free Press are a bold breakthrough in Pop music – a band that thinks as hard as they rock, or in the context of their live show, a band that entertains as much as they ask their audiences to think. It’s a combination that comes from the band’s unique blend of personal and musical backgrounds, and from their enduring belief that – as cliché as it might sound – rock ‘n’ roll can still change the world.
