The Flame 69

s/t EP

(Guns of Brixton Records)

It wasn't the 400 who birthed the Rock'n'Roll we love. Men who worked with their hands made music that gave them expression and release. Just so, The Flame 69 shout of regular people's pains and resoluteness. Don't look for this principled storm to top corporate charts; it's too real.
