Freakbeat 101

Sort of a more cerebral version of American garage rock, freakbeat is what happened when Britain's Mods and art school kids turned on. More of a subset of British psychedelia than a separate scene, freakbeat is defined by the inclusion of punkier, R&B-laced rhythm sections and a more aggressive vocal attack.

More Info

Critical Mob is a discovery site, an editorial-driven, team-curated effort to select, review, and connect the best in culture.

Our writers and editors follow the latest releases from the most significant new artists and connect them to the classic, iconic artists who've influenced and shaped their lives and work. We reveal how musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, designers, and artists have inspired, influenced, and collaborated with each other to shape their vision and their work.

By choosing just the most critical artists and works, a clearer picture of the cultural landscape appears, free of ephemeral pop trends, corporate products, and pretentious rip-offs. What's left is just the most innovative and original artists and a new perspective on how cultural trends began, and how they continue to evolve today.
