Have we gone crazy in BANG! RECORDS? Why this single from a non-Aussie band? Well... Just because we can't resist to the best European band of the moment. Just because if you listen to it you'll find out that it has a lot to do with that dark swampy Australian sound we love. Just because we can't ignore this already recognized musicians, who come from bands as incredible as GALLON DRUNK or THE EARLS OF SUAVE. In a sentence, just because we couldn't help it!!
Spilled Your Pint, the new single from North London's excellent THE FLAMING STARS, was recorded in April-May 2004 in the legendary Toe Rag Studios. A Side –a mix of resounding drums, foot ryhtms and screams- is extracted from their new album “Named & Shamed”, while B-Side, ‘Sixty Nine', is only available in this single. Ever since the band ever stepped into Toe Rag, in Shoreditch in 1995 to record their debut single, they have played all over the U.K., France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, America and Japan, and they recorded the legendary John Peel (R.I.P.) Sessions
“I first saw THE FLAMING STARS a long time ago now, in the same Kings Cross place where THE POGUES started. That night, they took the scene with a brutal sound which tore off the painting from the walls and the skin from the bones. In the same way, any next time I've seen them, they were so alive they could have just killed the National Grid. I recommend you to play this album really LOUD.” – Spider Stacy from The Pogues
