Robert Andrew Freeman (born March 26, 1981, in Andover, New Jersey[1]) is the guitarist, backing vocalist and primary songwriter for the pop punk/post-hardcore group Hidden in Plain View.
Upon forming in August 2000, Hidden in Plain View began playing concerts somewhat frequently.
Following several line-up changes, Drive-Thru Records signed the band in June 2003 and released their four-song sampler EP Hidden in Plain View on November 11, 2003.
In mid-2004, Hidden in Plain View went into the studio with producer Jim Wirt to record their full-length debut Life in Dreaming.
Song structures were more diverse, featuring riff heavy anthems as well as melancholy ballads, as were the lyrical topics, dealing with the pressure of growing up ("American Classic"), the experience of losing a close friend ("In Memory") and the controversial subject of date rape ("Bleed for You").
