Originally released in 1997, Freak Show is the powerful second studio album from Australian alternative rock legends Silverchair.
Following the massive success of their debut album Frogstomp, the Newcastle trio returned with a heavier, darker and more mature sound, blending explosive grunge riffs, haunting melodies and emotionally charged songwriting.
Featuring iconic tracks such as "Freak", "Abuse Me", "Cemetery", "The Door" and "Nobody Came", Freak Showcaptures Silverchair at the height of their early alternative rock era, showcasing Daniel Johns' distinctive vocals and the band's powerful guitar-driven sound.
Combining raw aggression with quieter, introspective moments, the album explores themes of isolation, fame, frustration and growing up under the spotlight. Its mix of heavy distortion, melodic hooks and atmospheric arrangements helped cement Silverchair's place among the most influential Australian rock bands of the 1990s.
This special Limited Edition Red & Black Marbled Vinyl LP pressing adds a striking collectible finish to one of Australia's essential alternative rock releases.
A must-have for fans of 1990s grunge, alternative rock and Australian music. Perfect for fans of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam.
