TubeFreeks Debut New Single “Flower” Co-Written with Sevendust’s Clint Lowery
Hard rock band TubeFreeks have released their newest single “Flower,” co-written with Clint Lowery of Sevendust. The song arrives alongside a new music video directed by nationally recognized filmmaker Tom Flynn. “Flower” showcases TubeFreeks’ ability to merge melodic heaviness with the raw intensity of contemporary rock. It carries the hook-laden energy reminiscent of peak post-grunge while feeling immediate and present in its execution. The track is driven by complex drum patterns and heavy rhythm guitar that create tension and motion throughout the verses. At the center, frontman Paul van Valkenburgh delivers a vocal performance that is raw, distinct, and unmistakably his own. His voice cuts through the dense instrumentation while maintaining emotional clarity, allowing listeners to feel both the urgency and the intimacy of the song.
