Freelance Sweatpants was formed in August of 2022 when Sean (bass) threw a party at his house. With a wide range of his friends there, he realized that there were enough people to start a band.
The thought of starting a band sat in the back of his head until he bought his first bass for at-home recordings. Within 5 minutes of playing, he knew that he needed to put together a group. He called up Dom (guitar), Justin (drums), and AJ (guitar) to fill in the rest of the band and within a week they began jamming.
Songs came quick, as most of the band refused to play covers. Sean and Dom had collaborated previously on other projects but never had a full band to bring their ideas to life. Bringing on Justin and AJ had introduced new sounds to the duo, and they slowly began to shape their own noise from a wide range of influences.
Influences:
- Nirvanna the Band
- Origami Angels
- The Beatles
- Miller Lite
- Foo Fighters
- The Clash
- John Borkowski
- Jimi Hendrix
- The Black Keys
