The Flatliners on Tour

Punk rock, ska-punk, hardcore punk, pop punk, and indie rock are all appropriate ways to describe the head-banging quartet The Flatliners. The Flatliners are currently touring across 10 countries with 31 concerts in Europe and Canada on their 20th Anniversary Tour. With face-melting riffs, mesmerizing lyrics and a deadly baseline, the Flatliners are a must-see for any and all punk fans. Forming in 2002, the Canadian rock band consists of singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cresswell, lead guitarist Scott Brigham, bassist Jon Darbey, and drummer Paul Ramirez. Their live performances are full of excitement and thrills. "The Flatliners are an amazing hard working band," said one fan in a concert review on songkick. "They always just want everyone to have a great and safe time." Originally touring across Canada's punk scene in the early 2000s, the Flatliners self-released their first album Destroy to Create in 2005; shortly after this release their debut album was discovered and distributed throughout North America by Stomp Records. In 2007, the band released their second album, The Great Awake under a new label, Fat Wreck Chords.  Originating as a ska-punk sound, they morphed into a softer pop-punk soundscape after signing with their new label. This new genre of music continued into their third album, 2010's Cavalcade. Perhaps yearning for their days of heavy ska-punk, the band switched their sound back to a more intense and in-your-face attitude for their 2013 Dead Language album. This album earned them a highly desirable Juno nomination in 2014 for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year. After more than a decade of creating music, the band published Division of Spoils: A Collection of B-sides and Rarities, an accumulation of extra songs and eclectic covers that did not make it on any of their previous albums. In 2017, the Flatliners released Inviting Light, with tracks including "Mammals," "Human Party Trick" and "No Roads."
