"Great, stripped-down punk rock the way it's supposed to be: energetic, fun and agressive...sounds like Superchunk did before they veered into indie rock" - Punk Planet
Born out of frustration at the stagnant lad rock indie scene of Liverpool in the late 90s, Flamingo 50 formed through a mutual need for fast, raucous rock n' roll. Having drunkenly discovered that other people found it as exciting as they did, their mission was clear: their raw take on punk rock should, nay MUST be taken to the masses. Their journey thus far has taken them as far as France and the USA, and resulted in three EPs, the album 'My Reason' on Keith Records, second album 'Flamingo 50 Tear It Up' on Brooklyn's Ernest Jenning Recording Company and split records with Fabiola, Lack Of Reason and San Francisco/Austin Indie-Punk Heroes J Church!! on Los Diaper Records!
