Freak Fighter is quite simply a hilarious bit of trash metal/skate metal. They remind me of Angry Samoans but with a better ear for song structure and musicianship. Musically, the song sounds like a theme song to some TMNT/Toxic Avenger cartoon series. It's about one Freak Fighter who was "born in a hospital" and "will always remain". He is generally speaking a badass out to paint the town red and "doesn't care what you are good for". The lyrics are set to music in the form of punchy pre-punk revival power chords with splashes of computer-like guitar licks and feedback thrown in for "good taste". After the second chorus there's a ripping guitar solo that volleys off the robot-noise guitar licks that infest the rest of the song. The vocalist has this not quite but almost douche(ish) hardcore vibe that resists the urge to go full on hardcore so as to keep the hit TV theme vibe alive (all without sounding cheesy). Well worth a listen.
