Free The Witness feat. Handsy Grandma & Garbage Ghost

Free the Witness

Free the Witness is a punk rock band from Asbury Park, NJ. Established in 2019. The band has slowly developed a niche sound that brings an electric blend of all your favorite 90s Epitaph and Fat Wreck bands mixed with the operatic vocals of frontman Jake Bédel-Franklin. Ripping leads of Brandon Bacelo, the frenetic yet harnessed drumming of Jeff Roberts, and what few punk bands boast—a speedy finger-playing bassist in Kyle Crowley. Free the Witness is not looking to reinvent the wheel of punk rock. Simply to be part of something bigger. To be part of a genre that is reigniting, redefining, and ever-expanding. The band brings an incredibly interactive and youthful live show. In which they have most notably played alongside punk rock legends NOFX and Descendents, as well as supporting local heavy hitters School Drugs. With their new record “Dead Man’s Tale” on the horizon, produced by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls, and their most recent signing to DIMM Music, Free the Witness looks to embark on an ambitious path forward. Bringing an air of excitement and enthusiasm to the band, they look forward to sharing it with every release. Every live show and every interaction. Peace. Love. and Runk Pock.
