Props to radial for their 4-track promo release, here's the full
release. Enjoy!
Frank J. Freda was born on January 28, 1971 in Mineola, NY. Over the
years, Frank's love of music deepened and his tastes expanded to
many different genres. In the early 80s it was mostly top 40 from
95.5 WPLJ and Z-100. MTV also played a large role in introducing him
to many new artists that would influence him forever. Bands like
Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, The Cure and Tears For
Fears were in rotation on television and radio, but their full
impact wouldn't be realized until years later. His first interest in
synthesizers came courtesy of Genesis. Songs like "Man On The
Corner" hit a nerve and sparked a new interest in music. It was
around this time that his parents bought him his first Casio
keyboard. Frank started out by learning the lead vocal melodies of
his favorite songs. Slowly, he began to pick up chord progressions
and started playing his own original melodies as well.
In the middle of the decade he became more interested in classic
rock including Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Their lush arrangements
and production quality were very inspirational. He became more and
more interested in how different instruments blended together and
how a producer could play a pivotal role in the overall sound of an
album. It was also at this time that Frank began writing poetry.
Most were either about romantic love or teenage angst. By the end of
the 80s, Frank was listening to a wide variety of music, but
Metallica and Def Leppard topped the list at this time. For his high
school graduation, his parents gave him a more formidable Casio and
continued to encourage his interest in music.
As Frank was entering his first year of college in 1989 he was
reintroduced to Depeche Mode. Listening through a friend's
collection of Depeche Mode CDs he found a wealth of music, lyrics,
production and vocals that completely agreed with his tastes. While
everyone else was listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana Frank was
seeking out Depeche Mode's entire catalog of albums and singles. He
began listening to 92.7 WDRE/WLIR and fell in love with the best
that new wave had to offer. Morrissey and The Smiths, U2, The Cure
and industrial acts Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, and NIN became Frank's
new passion. He began his first attempts at songwriting and one of
his early compositions, "Silent Whispers", would play an important
part in Frank's musical and vocal development for years to come.
Throughout the early 90s Frank attended as many concerts as he could
and became more and more interested in not only playing the songs he
knew and loved, but also writing and singing his own compositions.
Frustrated by the limitations of his Casio, Frank started lingering
around Sam Ash and dreaming of owning a workstation that would allow
him to record all of the tracks he heard in his head. Upon his
college graduation in 1993 his parents again encouraged him by
giving him a Korg 01/W. Frank now had a tool that would allow him to
flesh out his ideas.
Frank collaborated with several people during this time. The most
important of which was a friend he met at Sam Ash. Frank originally
joined up with Brett L. to play synths after Brett had heard Frank
playing in the Sam Ash keyboard department. After their first jam
session Brett felt that Frank had the talent to front their duo and
they started working on a series of cover songs and a handful of
originals. Frank dubbed the band "Stripped" after one of his
favorite Depeche Mode songs. The band was short lived, but it gave
Frank important lessons in sequencing and his very first performance
in front of a large audience of family, friends and strangers.
From the mid to late 90s Frank began writing more and more songs in
a variety of styles. He placed several electronic songs on mp3.com
under the band name "Deep Freeze". One of those songs was an
electronic rendition of his ballad "Silent Whispers". A friend and
coworker asked Frank for a tape of his music to share with Kris
Heireth.
In October of 1999, brothers Kris and Tim Heireth were going to
produce Frank's synthpop ballad "Silent Whispers". While working on
the song the threesome hit it off and Frank was asked to join the
band. Frank joined Brand New Idol and became their lead vocalist and
also contributed to the band as a synth player and songwriting
partner. Brand New Idol's debut CD "Still Beautiful Falling Apart"
was released in November of 2001 and received high praise.
