Their specialty lies in combining catchy tones with raw, impactful lyrics, making their music both memorable and meaningful. Free Sergio has earned a reputation for creating tracks that stick in your head while staying true to the gritty essence of punk.
“Can’t Break Love” is the first song that really grabbed my attention. The lyrics in this high energy track express a mix of frustration, introspection, and unresolved emotion about a difficult relationship. This person is disappointed by the partner’s inability to engage emotionally, and reflects deeply on past events to avoid feelings of regret. The lyrics mixed with the chaotic tone makes for a great track!
“I Give Black Cats Bad Luck” is another fun one for me. These lyrics are aggressive and intense, brimming with themes of defiance, self-assertion, and an outright rejection of external control or manipulation. The combination of fury and catchiness makes it a cathartic anthem. It’s the kind of song that channels frustration into an infectious, rebellious energy.
While way too short, another favorite of mine on this album is the 36 seconds of “Shitty Little City”. These lyrics present a vivid snapshot of a reckless and rebellious lifestyle, seamlessly intertwined with disillusionment and reflection on relationships, time, and place. The tone is raw and confrontational, staying true to punk’s unapologetic edge. What makes this track stand out is how it blends humor and frustration with an underlying sense of nostalgia. It’s a quick, chaotic burst of energy that captures the gritty essence of living in the moment while acknowledging the passage of time.
“Love Song,” is definitely the highlight of the album. The lyrics hit hard, offering a relatable narrative about having to leave behind a love that’s toxic or unhealthy. The singer’s catchy tone adds a unique energy to the emotional weight of the lyrics, blending vulnerability with a memorable, almost infectious melody. It’s the kind of track that sticks with you.
The last track, aptly titled “Chaotic”, blends emotionally raw lyrics with a heavy blast of tunes. The lyrics express deep feelings of despair, isolation, and existential exhaustion, painting a stark picture of someone grappling with their mental health. Themes of hopelessness, anxiety, and the repetitive, cyclical nature of life run throughout, giving the song a raw emotional depth that resonates. Despite the heavy subject matter, the energetic instrumentation keeps the track engaging, creating a powerful balance between emotional and punk-driven intensity.
This album has all the elements that make punk what it is — raw energy, emotional intensity, and unapologetic lyrics. It’s heavy, fun, and filled with the raw edge that fans of the genre will appreciate. Definitely one for the repeat button!
