Announced in 2009, FREAKSHOW delivered 80s Hard Rock as might be expected by its high profile core trio of THE FIRM and BLUE MURDER credited bassist Tony Franklin, QUIET RIOT and W.A.S.P. drummer Frankie Banali and CINDERELLA guitarist Jeff LeBar. The group was fronted by MISS CRAZY singer Markus Christopher Allen.

Retrospect Records signed the band for an opening eponymous album.
