Free Weed is a five-member metal/thrash metal band from Prophetstown, Illinois, USA, Midwest, the Quad Cities area (northwest Illinos to be geographically precise). Members include: Mike Moody is the singer, VJ Dixon and Matt Moody play guitar, Jenny Dixon plays bass, and Jay Adkins is the drummer. Their original songs are fast and driving, with the focus on energy, and with killer leads too. That seems to be the thing thats lacking in a lot of new metal these days. We all grew up with the same sense of old-school values, listening to shit like Metallica, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Zoetrope, Anthrax, Slayer, Pantera, Testament, Metal Church, Exous, Suicidal Tendencies, the list could go on and on, but you get the idea.
Band/artist history
Most of us started out jamming with friends in the late 80s and early 90s. Mike and Matt (yeah, theyre brothers) were in a band called Psychotherapy, an original metal band. Mike was the singer, Matt played lead guitar. They played a lot of parties and local bars, cut their teeth having a lot of fun and partying. VJ, same story, started out playing guitar in a band called Permanent Damnage, a heavy thrash metal band, then bass in Expulsion, a thrash/cruise metal band. Jennys the newbie. She started playing bass in 2000, she came to practice one night with a rented bass and amp and said Im gonna be your new bass player (obviously they were looking for a new bass player at the time). And yeah, VJ and Jenny are married. From that point its been amazing. Last, but not least, Jay comes from a band called Mother Sin. This guy has got a ton of energy and some serious double-kick skills.
