LUNATIC FRINGE is a 5 piece female fronted hard rock band out of Northern New Jersey. Started as a project amongst friends the band has gone through a few line up changes and has come in to its own. “The Freakshow” is LUNATIC FRINGE’S first release. Female fronted and unashamed, it is music that has been honed live in the Metro New York City area. This album takes you on a journey from the heavy hitting, like “Insane”, to the completely unexpected tango vibe of “The Tango Crispy” and everywhere in between (Surf rock? sure, Straight up hard rock? of course!)
