Since their breakout release The Great Awake, THE FLATLINERS
have been touring the world with a tenacity that would make the
most road-hardened veterans weary. Multiple jaunts around the
US, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia have served to amass an
ever increasing fan-base. The only possible downside of the band’s
relentless trek is that it left them with little time to record their
follow up full-length. Fortunately, at long last the wait is over with
the release of Cavalcade. The twelve tracks on Cavalcade reflect the
maturation THE FLATLINERS have undergone over the past
three years with intelligently crafted songs that still brandish the
band’s youthful passion and exuberance. The forceful guitars,
gruff vocals, and vigorous rhythms that have become the hallmark
of THE FLATLINERS are elevated to an advanced level on
Cavalcade and will be recognized by fans and critics alike. The
songs lean toward a pithy, more thought out sound, without losing
a bit of the catchiness that shrouds THE FLATLINERS past
material. From the anthemic choruses on “Carry the Banner” and
“Monumental”, the powerful cadence of “Shithawks”, to the
reggae-infused “He Was a Jazzman”, Cavalcade showcases the vast
dimension of THE FLATLINERS songwriting prowess.
Fresh off a full US tour with the Dropkick Murphys and Youth
Brigade, THE FLATLINERS already have plans to hit the road
hard with a headlining US tour booked in support of Cavalcade.
