Freaky Age are a melodic indie-rock band from Ternat, Belgium. Singer Lenny Crabbe, guitarist Mathias Declercq and drummer Jonas Pauwels got into the finals of the prestigious Belgian music contest Humo's Rock Rally in 2006. The trio was later joined by bass player Dete Heindrickx and in early 2008 the band were quickly snapped up by V2 Records (Benelux). In April 2008, they released their self-produced debut album ‘Every Morning Breaks Out’ with debut single ‘Time Is Over’ hitting the radio charts at number 5, followed by ‘Where Do We Go Now’ with four weeks at number 1 and 23 weeks in the charts in total. Two more singles followed: 'Every Morning Breaks Out' and 'John What's The Use'.

Following the success of their album, the band spent the next two years touring Belgium, France and the Netherlands as well as playing prominent festivals, including one of Belgium’s biggest, Pukkelpop; and Marktrock. They also received nominations for Best Alternative Band, Best Breakthrough and Best Song for Belgium’s Music Industry Awards (MIA's) and MTV/TMF Awards (Belgium). In spring 2009, Dete announced that he would be leaving the band and got replaced by Wouter Van den Bossche.
