Editorial Reviews

The Flatliners, although just out of high school, have been ripping up the ska-punk scene since 2002 with their own brand of skunk rawk. Their sound is best described as two-tone ska mixed with brain-hemorrhaging punk to make one lethal dose of in-your-face fun! With three releases under their belts, including an early demo, a four-way split combining the extremes of Toronto ska-punk, and this long awaited full-length, The Flatliners have proven to be one of the most prolific bands to come out of the Toronto punk scene.

In the vein of The Clash, Operation Ivy, and Rancid, The Flatliners’ sound has developed over the years from simplistic, raw tunes to fast-paced, politically-charged ska-punk with attitude. During early 2003, the band was given a big helping hand by an interview on Much Music’s Punk Show. Since then, they have appeared on numerous college and mainstream radio shows (including a Top Pick for 2004 nod from 102.1 The Edge’s Punk-O-Rama), appeared on various compilations, and been featured in magazines ranging from local print to nationally distributed publications such as Exclaim.

The Flatliners have only just begun their assault on the world. Get ready for hell, ‘cause they’re carrying on the torch of ska-punk with full force.

Sure they're not alike at all, and of course no disrespect to the Planet Smashers, but the Flatliners are some fun kids. I only saw them yesterday and had their cd a mere week before that, but I've grown to love this cd.

Heavy, heavy Suicide Machines influence with some blistering Streetlight Manifesto lyrics thrown at you. How could you go wrong?

This is an amazing ska-punk cd. Its what i like to call "ska-punk with no horns." If you like The Suicide Machines or Operation Ivy, you will love this band.

This is one of my favorite ska punk ablums ever. Its catchy and has some cool rifts. For some reason i want to compare them with Choking Victim, i don't know why. But any way the cd sounds great and has good sound quality. I also saw them play in Boston the otherday, they put on an amazing show. buy this cd its sweet.
