WILD FLAG – LP This was one of
the albums I was most looking forward to in the past year. Wild Flag kicks off their debut with a high-energy lead off
rocker and offers us a sometimes bittersweet but always driving underground rock that walks the line between indie and punk
with ease. Built on overdriven guitar and tasteful organ parts, the songs are full of tight hooks and lyrics that meld
the person with the sociological at times. What emerges is an album that moves from strength to strength with power
and east throughout. Wild Flag have proven themselves to be a great band right out of the gate and I have a feeling
this album is merely the beginning of what’s possible from them. (BOONE)
