Further praise for the legendary Flanks


"Nice job. They should turn you up louder."

—Tommy Ramone


"Well, that's a disturbing little ditty."

—John Schaefer, WNYC's Soundcheck


"I kind of wish Guns N' Roses was playing instead."

—Man at urinal, between sets at a Flanks show
The Flanks
Confetti cannons make everything better. "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


"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."
