The Flatliners – Nerves EP

Toronto punk band The Flatliners have been around for quite some time, making loud, melodic, punk rock since for the past decade – and they’re barely in their mid-20’s. Their ska-beginnings with their 2005 debut Destory to Create eventually shifted into melodic punk rock, and since then they’ve released a handful of hard-hitting, repeat-button smashing records. Adding to their continued success, the four friends have recently signed to Dine Alone Records and have now put out a two-track EP / 7″ Nerves.
“Hang My Head” and “Mud” show the band have not changed much over the years, putting together catchy rock melodies into a blender of loud distortion, full-band harmonies, and relentless energy. If anything, I feel like a Cavalcade-esque release might be in the works…Not to mention the soft-to-gritty vocals of lead singer Chris Cresswell is the cherry on top of the band’s infectious punk rock sound.
Listen to the first single “Hang My Head” below, and head to their website to get a digital copy and for more information. Catch them on tour this fall/winter (dates below).
