Flashlight and I have a bit of a history, so to speak. I think they‘ve played during every stage of my musical journey and participation in the punk scene. I remember them opening for the Smugglers at St. Catharine’s now closed Mind Bomb as a young energetic ska-punk band that stole the show. Their tracks on Stomp’s “All Skanadian Club” series soundtracked all types of parties and road trips in my high school years. Years later they played my frosh week along with Grade, my first show in University. Hell I’ve since moved to their hometown.

Bracket? i know they were called flashlight, but i did not know about bracket, assuming that's true... this cd is great, i listen to it all the time, flashlight brown is great in concert, as long as they aren't drunk, i've never seen that, but i know they like their liquor. also to all you guys bashing this band, fine... they're like good charlotte, you either love em or you you hate em, there is very little middle ground, although there is some. i really loved tihis c.d. flashlight is awesome, their raw sound is really great! they used to be called bracket? Has anyone seen the new LTJ e-card? Aggies huh? Did you live in J-Hall? I was in South-Maritime. Yeah it was Grade's CD release show, I've got the poster from it too. I remember sticking it to the door of my room a few days before the show and getting wierd looks from all the Aggies. To the reviewer: "I saw these guys open for Motion City Soundtrack and All Amercian Rejects, I thought they were horrible." Ahhh, Flashlight. These guys have been one of my favourite hometown bands since I saw them in Guelph open up for Mustard Plug in the summer of '98. dissing ska might be the dumbest thing you can do. its 2003- if you dont like ska, dont listen. but dissing ska as a genre is pointless as fuck.. because there are ska bands that have put out PERFECT and NEAR PERFECT records..(slackers, hepcat) dissing ska might be the dumbest thing you can do. its 2003- if you dont like ska, dont listen. but dissing ska as a genre is pointless as fuck.. because there are ska bands that have put out PERFECT and NEAR PERFECT records..(slackers, hepcat) Ska...bleh. What a cheesy genre of music that is. No offense to anyone, but man, the horns can be too much and it comes off incredibly cheesy. I liked them a lot more when they were called Bracket. more like Asslight Brown...as well as Craplight Brown. "I saw these guys open for Motion City Soundtrack and All Amercian Rejects, I thought they were horrible." More like Craplight Brown! i've show these guys something brown..... The Toasters are so much better than any ska out there today . NYCSKA in the hizouse! Saw them live a while back, I think they're good. i like mest because they've got a nazi I really like this cd.. and listen to it alot, the only other thing I have to compare it to is the self titled flashlight cd, which is good but i lke the new album better. scott if you've never heard of arrogant sons of bitches (ASOB), i think it's time. good stuff. long island locals, they're good guys. the synchronized jumping comment made me laugh cuz its so true....simple plan the synchronized jumping comment made me laugh cuz its so true....simple plan Flashlight is really talented. Awesome new album and they're good live if you are looking fow good ska, then you should check out Jump up! records, they just released like a 3 disc ska comp. that has a bunch of up and coming ska acts. Also, it is being sold for only like 15.00! good footnote, bad band, the first time I saw them they were ok (playing with frenzal/chixdiggit - broken leg), the next 2 times they were horrible....certainly nothing special enough for a major contract. -bigjerk Ahh the mind bomb....that was the best place ever for sure....tons of bands played there I bought this album for my girlfriend. I quite rather enjoyed it. My all time favourite song by these dudes is that My Bike Is Gone song, or whatever the hell it is called, on the first all skanadian comp. Catchy as all hell, and hilarious. Scott, you should check out the Spitvalves, I think they are out of Orlando.I dunno, I saw some people talkin 'bout them on the site so I decided to go to their site and download some stuff. Pretty good. I don't know how new they are or anything. I seriously want a good Ska band to come out of nowhere right now. I mean c'mon, you guys know you love to put a little Ska in your CD Player while you're crusing down the street on a hot summer day (while sipping on gin 'n juice). I saw these guys open for Motion City Soundtrack and All Amercian Rejects, I thought they were horrible. Here is to footnotes! Fucking A. Thats just what we've been wanting for so long around here. Made my day. |
