Dublin’s Von Venn are three singles deep into their upcoming album “Forgetting the Fall”, and “Be Free” might be their strongest statement yet. Following “You Can Talk To Me” and “Only In The Night”, the band have delivered something that manages to be both a rallying cry and an absolute tune.
The message is clear as day: think for yourself, question everything, and stop letting other people do your thinking for you. In 2025, that feels pretty vital.
“There’s so much manipulation out there now,” the band explain. “Information gets filtered, twisted, presented as truth when it’s anything but. We wrote this as a reminder to question everything and form your own opinions. Don’t be anyone’s fool. Don’t play to someone else’s agenda.”
Heavy stuff, but here’s the thing: “Be Free” is a proper feel good banger. There’s this nostalgic rock vibe running through it that’ll hit you right in the chest if you grew up on the right records, but it’s got enough bite to keep it current. Gary Cox’s vocal performance is the kind that burrows into your brain and sets up camp there.
