in Jan 2000 After getting attention and going 1 on garagebands.com with their self titled ep(drama), which brought the band major label interest, The band went on to CBGB?S in Oct of the same yr and showcased for several major labels. Avery Lipman with Republic/Universal invited the band to the record label the very next day and offered Flaw a major record deal, in which the band signed live on the radio the following month. In April 2001 Flaw went off to record their first major label debut at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California with world renowned producer David Bottrill (Tool) ( Mudvayne). After the band mixed the tracks at North Larabee Studio in Hollywood, Flaw embarked on several major tours including Mudvayne, Cold, Sevendust, Kittie, drowning pool, Coal Chamber, Ozzfest 2002, a European tour, two headlining tours, and a series of festivals and radio shows. The band then went 1 on the Billboards Heat Seeker charts. Flaw was selling 11,000 records a week with around 350,000 total us sales and 87,000 European sales within the first yr. With great honor Flaw was featured on the cover of “The Album Network” magazine Nov. issue. In April 2004 Flaw released their second album self titled “ Endangered Species” with David Bottrill at the helm once again. “Endangered Species” went on to sell 27,562 copies in the first week, The band went on tour with the likes of Life of Agony, Ill nino, Drowning pool and some headling dates as well but due to digital piracy the total sales of 155,000 in the U.S did not meet the bands expectations. Soon after the members of Flaw went on to pursue different directions in their lives for aprox. 2 yrs before deciding to reunite in January 2007 due to their ever loyal fan base and the bands raw love for their music and performing. Flaw decided to tour from March 07 with a welcomed sold out home town show through to Sept 29, 07 to give their ever growing fan base and all those who missed their live performances a taste from their first two cd releases. Currently Flaw is now recording their long anticipated presently untitled 3rd album, planning to release early 2008. Flaw intends to reach millions of people around the world with the digital era and the bands undeniable sound and chemistry. Flaw decided to share some of their previously unreleased tracks from 2003 and 2004 with their most recent campaign through Zoomoozik Records, the worlds first major digital record label. With Flaws proven past and unrelentless fans 2008 will surely be a busy and successful year.
