The Flaws
The Flaws are a four-piece from Co Monaghan, Ireland. The band
released their debut self financed EP in summer 2005, a total
of 300 copies only. The 4 track EP won a host of admirers with
instantly hummable tunes like 16, & Idolise
alongside Everybody"s Got to be Somewhere and
Fed to the Lions which show the great scope of the
bands sound. National airplay quickly followed on Today FM
with presenter Alison Curtis describing the lead track 16
as "brilliant, one of the best Irish tracks of 2005".
The Flaws will release the graceful "1981" on Friday July 27th
The single taken from the forthcoming debut album was recorded
at Grouse Lodge studios and mixed at Apollo in Dublin by
acclaimed producer Gareth Mannix (Director/Republic Of Loose
/Delorentos). It will be available to download from various
digital music services worldwide including itunes and at record
stores nationwide.
"1981" will hope to follow on the top 30 success of "Sixteen"
which saw the band take to the road on the 2FM 2Moro 2our in
May with Giveamanakick and Messiah J And The Expert. "Sixteen"
was playlisted on 2FM, Phantom FM, Red Fm and many national
stations and received rave reviews along the way.
The Flaws have been invited onto The Thrills Irish Tour as
special guests. The tour which takes place between July 26th to
Aug 4th will see the band play 5 shows with the Dublin outfit
and then go on to play LeCheile 2007. They will also appear at
the Meltfestival in Germany on July 14th.
The eagerly awaited debut album will be released on Friday the
14th of September.

energy of a bomb disposal unit… - Peter Crawley - Irish Times
