Album Notes

With a diverse fan base ranging from devout indie rockers, hardcore kids, political punks and riot grrrl rockers, Free Verse has crossed between several musical genres and has developed an impressive national underground buzz. Since their formation in Lawrence, Kansas in 1995, Jenni (guitar), Lisa (bass), and M (drums) have been combining experimental punk with discordant melodies, and have carved out their own niche within hardcore music. In 1998, Free Verse relocated to Seattle, Washington and has since become a vital part of the Northwest music scene.

Their sound is hard to categorize, and this has proven to be a distinct advantage for the trio. Their unique approach to songwriting has caught the ear of a variety of prominent bands and music promoters throughout the years. This has allowed Free Verse to share the stage with several other groundbreaking acts including hardcore bands such as The Blood Brothers, Coalesce & Botch, indie stars like Sleater-Kinney & The Get Up Kids, punk bands ranging from Auntie Christ (Excene Cervenka) to SNFU and the Lunachicks not to mention legendary pro-riot grrrl heroes like The Need, The Butchies, & The Cold Cold Hearts (Bratmobile).

Generator is intense and high-energy, belting out screams and melodies intertwined with complex guitar & bass lines and thrashing beats. Each track is a rollercoaster ride of electrifying hooks and sharp twists in tempo with a dose of brutal hardcore just around the next corner.
