“The Flanks play feel-good, sing-along, dirty country-folk... Behind their deceptive simplicity hides a bunch of very good musicians. Clever original songs, funny lyrics—swinging, bluesy top-shelf entertainment with no false pretenses... Their album Field Days catches fire like a Molotov cocktail." —Rootstime

Albums:

“Rollicking!” —The New Yorker “The Flanks just blew my mind. They play this old-timey, country-folk music complete with guitars, harmonica, fiddle, upright bass, and some of the most beautifully sung harmonies I've ever heard. . . . One of the most wonderful shows I've ever seen.” —Brooklyn Vegan “First-rate Americana.” —Leicester Bangs

"Nice Job. They should turn you up louder." —Tommy Ramone “Well, that's a disturbing little ditty.” —John Schaefer, WNYC's Soundcheck “The Flanks are pure, authentic, beautiful, crooked country . . . They're those people you've seen every day on your way to work, in various disguises of drudgery, who roll themselves into a crime-fighting machine of plucky twang by night.” —Alex Battles, songwriter
