Ever true to his word, Billy Corgan has released yet another free song from the Smashing Pumpkins' ongoing project, 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope.'

'Freak' is the fifth song the band has released from their 44-track free project, which fans can download from the band's website. 'Freak' is also the first song that will be on their second EP, ' Teargarden by Kaleidyscope Vol. 2: The Solstice Bare,' which currently has no set release date.

Smashing Pumpkins are currently on the road and will be providing fans with "soundcheck sets" at select shows throughout the tour.

"We expect to play at least five to six songs each day," Corgan wrote on the band's website. "And if things go well possibly a little more ... No less than the first 20 people in line would be let in, and we will have some system where you wouldn't lose your place in line if you have to go back out of the building ... We hope this will be a fun experience for everyone. I know we look forward to trying some of the new material ... No audio or video taping will be allowed at these soundcheck sets, so please respect and honor our wishes on that ... If things go well, we might let in a few people more."
