Freaky Age were a melodic indie rock band from Ternat, on the edge of Brussels, and they came up fast. Singer Lenny Crabbe, guitarist Mathias Declercq and drummer Jonas Pauwels made the finals of Humo's Rock Rally in 2006, picked up bassist Dete Heindrickx, and by early 2008 V2 Records had signed them for the Benelux.
Their self-produced debut, Every Morning Breaks Out, arrived that April, a wiry, hook-hungry record of taut guitars and choruses made for shouting back at the stage. "Time Is Over" went to number five on the radio charts, and "Where Do We Go Now" did better still, four weeks at the top and 23 weeks on the chart in all. The title track and "John What's The Use" kept the singles coming.
They spent the next two years on the road across Belgium, France and the Netherlands, playing big festivals like Pukkelpop and Marktrock and collecting nominations for Best Alternative Band, Best Breakthrough and Best Song at Belgium's Music Industry Awards and the MTV/TMF Awards. Living in Particular Ways followed in 2010, led by "Never See the Sun", and the band finally called it a day in 2019.
