Always thought it was basically UK garage rock. Direct analogy with same influences. The second generation after beat , that is to say the lesser known stuff influenced by the more successful UK/Brit invasion bands. I think the freak part had to do with studio/drug experimentation though live experimentation probably had as much to do with it. Like feedback sneaking into the equation etc. (&that might have more to do with what one's doing onstage?).
Like freak because things started getting a bit weird which one would assume was down to drug usage.
