Jumping Jack Flash

Flash Bang Band
Genre: Melodramatic Popular Song / Experimental / Pop
From: Brighton, London and South East, United Kingdom

Flash Bang Band formed in Brighton, UK towards the end of 2008. The quartet hail from a variety of influences and, using their tanking rhythm section, they drive nostalgic melodies and memorable, more often than not slightly wonky songs to captivate audiences.

Although the band are relatively freshly minted and despite saddling themselves with a bit of a naff name they've already turned more than a few heads in their home town of Brighton and have just launched their debut ep 'Random Acts Of Kindness' which you can order from their myspace site.

Of the six tracks on the EP three of them can be heard on their myspace site. 'I Want To Better Myself' sounds like they've been perfecting ways to compress the entire Super Furry Animals ouevre into one song while 'Questions' could be the revved up funk soul brother of the Welsh wizards. If I didn't know better I'd swear that the other track on the site, 'The Rhythm Inside You', which incidentally has some of the best pop whistling this side of Peter Bjorn and John, is a refugee from a long lost Kinks album.

If they carry on like this they won't just be a flash in the pan.
