Free or Dead are a Sydney band that combine elements of aggressive punk rock and bass heavy rap rhythms.

Originally a solo project by Sumeru frontman Matt Power the band recently completed a 6-track mix-tape entitled 'Strikes' that features contributions from members of Sydney bands such as ‘Sumeru’, ‘Lo!’, ‘Firearms’ and ‘Lomera’.

Due for release digitally on Friday March 10th, ‘Strikes’ presents a nihilistic view of the future. A future where the world bows to the will of the greedy.

In conjunction with the release of the record the band are crowdsourcing to fund production of a music video for the opening track 'Hunger'.

The band are asking friends, family and fans to make a pledge and help bring this music to the big (little) screen.

Pledges range from $5 to $200; on offer are rewards such as CDs, vinyl, digital downloads and t shirts.

There are also special pledge options like birthday calls, test presses and even cheesecake.
