I have known
of The Flatliners for a few years.
Around the time they released third album Cavalcade
in 2010 is when I first heard of them, but I never did give them enough of a
chance. On that album they had a pretty good punk sound, some elements of what
I’ve found to be called “melodic hardcore” though I’m not sure how “hardcore” I’d
call it. However, it didn’t capture me the way I’d have wanted it to and my
interest in the band, at the time, didn’t grow. Hell, I didn’t even know until
about a month ago that the band formed in a town which is about a 10 minute
drive from my house. Eventually I found out that the band started out as a
ska-punk band, which made sense as to why a song or two on Cavalcade had a
ska-punk sound.
