Bio
Boy, we sure do like to play rock and roll music..... Flatfoot formed in East Lansing during the fall of 2000 by brothers Aaron and Jason Bales. We play rock and roll with some twang, pop sensibilities and punk energy..... "lately, live Flatfoot has been all about out-rocking the competition knees and elbows flailing wildly and somebody (it doesnt seem to matter who) howling a campfire tale gone wrong into the microphone." Cale Sauter, Lansing City Pulse..... Wild Was Our Mercy is currently available as a CD or hand-numbered vinyl LP, with a web address for downloadable high-quality MP3s included in the liner notes. Darrin Higgins did the artwork, and Shawn Quinn and Ryan Snow from the record label (Los Diaper Records) hand-screened the covers. You can find the record at our shows,.... Online: ....

Flatfoot, you guys sound great, and just down the road a piece. Thank you for your kind words they mean a heck of a lot to us.
Thanks fellas. I dug your songs as well. Not sure if we can stick around an extra day for your show at Macs. But we should set something up in GR sometime soon.
I went to get to know your band better, but your website is down. You guys might rock!
Thanks! We'd love to play a show together... in Lansing especially.
Thanks a lot guys! You guys were great as well! Truth be told, your album has not left the cd player in my car since I left the show on Friday! Sounds great! We would love to play with you guys again. Perhaps in Kalamazoo...
Glad you enjoy! And yes it is! Goddamn he is handsome. - Roy
