The Flaming Tsunamis were the youthful leaders of a local ska-punk revival that rose when the corpse of the regional ska scene was hardly cold. But in just a few short years, they’ve grown, and so has their initial audience and their sound, so that they’ve become something altogether heavier, darker, artier. Abstracted farther and farther from their original template, the Tsunamis’ skankin’ breaks surprise when they do show up, embedded as they are in progressive hardcore and metalcore mayhem. The fruits of their labor, of creative restlessness and years of heavy touring, are evident in their most recent full-length, last year’s punishing, politicized, dynamically schizoid Fear Everything (Kill Normal Records), and in their live show, in which they’re a freaky machine of energy and precision.
hahaha no kind words....just the truth ;) made love to you all. yes..this too shall pass. btw..we just finished recording a new cd... which will spew forth booking shows...anyways....we love you more than bacon
Thanks Andy, you guys will go down as one of my all-time favorite bands.
No lie.
I am in a band right now called Campfire, Suburbia and we're working on a new full length. I just started another band last weekend too sounds like a grunge skrams band.
My friends and I decided to do a cover of your song for our school's talent show. We ended up getting third place. Sorry for the quality of the vid. In case you were wondering, I'm the one in the box robot costume.
I love you guys. I listen to Focus The Fury and Zombies Vs. Robots (which I bought on vinyl (stoked)) on my drive to school. Long Ass drive, I know. Then thru the day it's Fear Everything. I would LOVE to conclude my days with some Insignificant Victories, but I only have Grown Up. Any way you could tell me how I'd be able to get the rest of that album? Please?
you guys really need to do something in raleigh! if i had money, i would pay sooooo much of it to see you guys!
ALL THESE RALEIGH BANDS SOUND THE SAME! not as melodic, beautiful, yet dark and brutal and fun and spunky as you guys
they're all just...same old punk thrash bullshit
i think if we took all of our bands and put them in the same room we wouldn't know that they were all seperate bands...its really sad and people continue to spread the "news" of how amazing they are...yes with talent...but not with creativity
these bands say fuck the lyrics I WANT HARDCORE by that we north carolinians mean noise
ah man. i was having a horrible day to find my package waiting for me when i got home. :D enjoyed the zine, love the hoodie and OF course the cd. best surprise evah! you guys own. <3
I've been a fan for a few years now...was introduced to you guys from a schoolmate, he burned me a CD (haha remember those???) with Refuse to Die on it, I fell in love instantly, solely because you sampled Night of the Living Dead...so i promptly got everything I could by you guys, and you guys are defenitely up there in my favourite bands list. I think it's incredible how you guys have done this on your own, the way you want. I REALLY fucking respect and admire that. You guys are where music oughta' be. Just thought I'd let you guys know what an impact your music and integrity has had on me.
Hey are you guys still doing shows? If so Gainesville awaits, get back at me. I booked a show in Key West for ya before by the way, if that refreshes your memory...
