5.0 out of 5 stars The last rock and roll band on earth, February 18, 2004

...these guys are so real to me. They Rock BALLS! Fierce and Uncalculated. No one better demonstrates the Band on the rise mentality: They sound great, especially if you have ever liked anyone cool like Ride,Verve, or P.F.. And they all have cool names. Brandon - is the singer, and is outstanding. Fletcher plays base - Cory and Rex are the guitar players (and let me tell you...) Dominic is the drummer. Get to know them - they'll let you. They're from your own neighborhood. But so unexpectedly talented. There focused only when they're playing ("thunder only happens when it's raining".) If you really listen, they will knock your socks off.

To Madagascar and Back, must have been one hell of a trip for the Denton boys! This 6 song EP is quite an ear opener. This band is evolving, and it shows. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the new, edgier material. Each listen brings a new favorite, but I think "All We are is Gone" might be one of their best to date! BUT..... the accompanying DVD, while a great extra, is crap. Horrible video and editing. The outakes between tracks can be amusing, but the performances do a poor job of capturing the energy of a Flickerstick show. They sound great, but look awful. Not bad for an "extra", but a band as great as this deserved much better. Hopefully, they'll get a professional crew for their next live video project.Overall, a must for any FlickerFan.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new sound... renewed hope, December 15, 2003

With "To Madagascar" Flickerstick are reinventing themselves in a market swamped with pop. Traditional vocals from singer Brandin Lea are somewhat something of the past except for the raspy singing on ballads like "Miss Missing You." This cd is without a doubt powered by heavy hitting guitars, thick bass lines, and a whole lot more electronic work than in the past.
"Girls and Pills" and (what could easily be a major single)"Tourist" may not give immediate gratification, but eventually become the ones you'll play (and sing) all day long. Those missing a tradional Flickerstick sound will appreciate "All We Are Is Gone" as their new "Direct Line." Rock on boys!
