Press Reviews From www.geocities.com/eclectischism02/17/2001:St. Louis, MOLOFREQWent to the Wayout Club to check out a band called LoFreq. Here is a band that is Rock and Roll at its finest! LoFreq is a "power trio" headed up by Gary Copeland on guitar and vocals and supported by Jake Preston on bass and Ted (sorry, didn't get the last name) on drums. They are straight up, 4 on the floor rock! 3 chords and 10 tons of balls!I could sit and try to compare them to other well known bands so you get a general idea of what they sound like, but I'm not real good at that. I'll give it one shot-AC/DC meets...oh fuck it! Anyway they are very heavy without being heavy metal. I think they tune their guitars down about 14 steps but it's not like the KORN 7 string guitar schtick. It just rocks! ROCK, ROCK, ROCK!! If you ever get a chance to see them, DO NOT miss out! Rock and Roll needs a definite shot in the arm and these guys got the hypodermics to do it with!

Plenty of math-rockers, mod-rockers, post-rockers, jazz-core-rockers and so on fill the record stores and rock clubs these days, but there'll always be a place for the rocker-rockers. Thursday night, that place is the Way Out Club, and those rocker-rockers are Syrup, Lofreq and Swampass. If your idea of a good night out involves getting drunk, throwing the devil sign and hollering, "Whooooo!,"this show should be right up your alley.Opening the festivities is Charleston, Ill., band Swampass (pictured). The latest in a line of central Illinois raunch-rockers dating back to the Didjits, Swampass kicks out short, riff-heavy bursts of punkish rock & roll that go down as smoothly as that third Jägermeister shot. The middle slot belongs to St. Louis' own Lofreq, celebrating the release of the band's debut CD. Lofreq has played a ton of shows in less than a year of existence, building up a nice little following among the hard-drinkin', hard-rockin' set (see "Radar Station,"). Rounding out the triple-header is Syrup, from Tallahassee, Fla. The band adds a touch of funk and a flair for glam fashion to Nashville Pussy-style porn-fueled redneck rock. Don't expect lyrical subtlety or tender ballads from any of these boys -- that isn't what this show's about. Thursday night is all about the rock & roll. Whooooo! (Insert devil sign here.) { http://www.riverfronttimes.com/issues/2001-04-25/critics.html }
