Warrington’s teenage dynamo, Freight, is creating moments. With their second single, “The Only Thing I Know,” the duo captures the restless energy of a festival crowd and compresses it into three minutes of infectious indie rock. “The Only Thing I Know” demands a response, whether it’s a fist in the air, a shout of the chorus, or an irresistible urge to dance.
“The Only Thing I Know” propels forward with raw urgency, showcasing that Freight is made for the stage from the first beat. After a summer of conquering festival crowds at Stranger Ways and Together Again, and even sharing the spotlight with The K’s at Newton Festival, they’ve honed their ability to turn teenage angst into a collective release. Their sound is designed to reverberate across festival fields and bounce off walls.
Frontman Luka Gunes’ vocals are the focal point of “The Only Thing I Know,” intimate enough to feel like a secret yet soaring enough to become a battle cry. He sings with you, as if every lyric is an invitation to join in. The instrumentation reflects the duality, as frantic guitar riffs and pulsing drums crash forward with reckless abandon, but everything feels tightly stitched together, driving the track with irresistible momentum.
“The Only Thing I Know” stands out with its energy and honesty woven into it. The song feels like a teenage diary entry set to distortion pedals, capturing the tension between self-doubt and hope, solitude and community. That’s the magic of Freight. By the end, you realize that this is a rallying cry, a future festival favorite, and perhaps the defining soundtrack of Freight’s unstoppable rise. With “The Only Thing I Know,” Freight proves they’re already swinging from them.
