Emerging from the small town of Ypsilanti Michigan in 2018, <a href="spotify:artist:7oMXLJ2a6b0SkWoCBQKtxZ" data-name="Freedom From Concern">Freedom From Concern</a> (often referred to as FFC) raised from the freshly filled grave of their sentimentally held high school punk band <a href="spotify:artist:1delEwkJ4onFBmisPzOLRt" data-name="Spooky Basements">Spooky Basements</a>. Founded by Singer/Bassist (toilet puncher) Jay Maronen, Guitarist/Singer (secretly not Batman) Colin Robertson, and Drummer (&#34;I&#39;m not even tired!&#34;) Ian McDonald.

In 2020 FFC released their first album <a href="spotify:album:3JEhbqZRUcjLmiqvrdi5nx" data-name="Because, Maybe">Because, Maybe</a>. It portrays the growing pains of surrendering adolescence and accepting adulthood, suicidal ideation, and their view of politics from a progressive lens, all while hammering in an optimistic objective with brutal Ahegao inducing intensity. &#34;Our world is clay for us to shape, so let us sculpt it how we like&#34;

In 2021 FFC released their second album, self titled <a href="spotify:album:2f4l70eqhdtH0NmdKAFjli" data-name="Freedom From Concern">Freedom From Concern</a>. Developing the bright sound of <a href="spotify:album:3JEhbqZRUcjLmiqvrdi5nx" data-name="Because, Maybe">Because, Maybe</a> into a contrasting shadowy timbre. They explored their musical boundaries with experimental tracks and themes. The album revolves around a fading sense of meaning inspired by a year of deep critical reflection during the COVID-19 lockdowns. &#34;Your smile from yesterday is my new religion&#34;

&#34;Being free from concern is more of a goal of how I think one should be, like an aspiration. It&#39;s to dare to look on the bright side even when it stings the eyes.&#34; -Jay
