Freight Releases Their Endearing Debut ‘Me’

Warrington’s newest indie hopefuls Freight make their charmingly scrappy debut with “Me”, a single born from happy accidents and teenage enthusiasm. Formed hastily after frontman Luka Gunes secured a Pickfest slot at an open mic night, this quartet of best friends (Luka, Ted, Jacob, Anton) channels their Vaccines-inspired upbringing into a track that stumbles into brilliance through sheer serendipity.

The song’s DNA reads like indie rock kismet: a mislearned Vaccines riff collides with a producer’s (Gaz) fortuitous sequencing error to create an unexpectedly sticky chorus. There’s an endearing roughness to the execution – the kind that only comes when lifelong friends translate basement jams into proper recordings – yet the hooks land with the immediacy of the indie night classics they adore. Gunes’ vocals carry that particular northern earnestness perfected by bands like The K’s, while the rhythm section barrels forward with the wide-eyed energy of musicians still pinching themselves at their rapid rise from holiday-planning mates to festival-billed artists.

More than just a debut, “Me” serves as a time capsule for that magical moment when teenage passion first crystallizes into something tangible – warts, wrong notes, and wonderful mistakes included. For a band formed on a whim, Freight already sounds like they’ve got the most important ingredient: chemistry you can’t fake.

Freight’s ‘Me’ is indie rock in its purest, most unfiltered form—scrappy, sincere, and bursting with accidental brilliance.
