FREELANCE (Restless) ~ Demo Cassette 1987 (aorheart) + bonus song

here you can listen the awesome 4-track FREELANCE - Demo Cassette US 1987 with the follow songs ... 01 - Don`t Do It To Me 02 - I Don't Wanna Want You 03 - Feels Like Love 04 - Painted lady and a fantastic song from the compilation CD...HOT NIGHT IN THE CITY - US 1989 05 - Lightin`Strikes What I know is that FREELANCE made two fantastic demos in the late 80's and released the song "Lightin`Strikes" on the compilation CD of HOT NIGHT IN THE CITY. After that they changed their band name to RESTLESS. But luckily their music hasn't changed, as evidenced by their great 4-track demo 1991. Luckily MTM MUSIC got this great band a deal in 1998 so that these FREELANCE / RESTLESS songs could be heard by a wider audience, which they certainly deserve ! The CD is titled RESTLESS - "Alone In The Dark" on the Japan edition (1999) are 3 awesome bonus tracks, taken from the 1991 demo Cassette ! Last Known Line-Up FREELANCE ...

It surely can’t just be down to luck, or being in the right, fashionable place at the right time. Songs really must have something to do with it. But why then have so many great bands disappeared into obscurity? But if songs do indeed make the difference then Freelance are one band already well on the way to being a success. These guys first came to my attention via a four song 1987 demo, which I received from their manager; none other than the semi-legendary journalist Paul Suter ! And, believe it not with Paul involved, neither have the band a female singer, nor have they any members of Canadian nationality. Hmmn, very intriguing, better check out the tape…. The track, "Painted Lady", immediately disperses any disparaging preconceptions I could have had: it sounds like White Sister in overdrive! A real classic pomp rock sound, but beefed up a degree to make it that bit more invigorating. The other three songs were excellent too. Especially, "Don’t Wanna Want You", a majestic ballad with elements of Foreigner, and "Feels Like Love" which positively reeks of seventies pomp rock right down to the Roadmaster ("Hey World" period) bass line. I could almost sense older fans pulling on loon pants as I listened, while ironing their treasured Styx T-shirts and practising their Trillion style pouts! But one of the overriding things I concluded was that Freelance sound like…, well, Freelance! They certainly have a sound all their own, and it’s a definite band sound. Rather than some similar bands I could mention, who seem to sound like five or six musicians all trying to outdo each other! So, in order to bring you the AOR Basement reader a bit more information on the band, an interview was arranged with lead vocalist/guitarist Roger Sommers ......
