Si, Gaz and Andy have been playing as MOF since 2004, and reside in Bristol, UK. Si has a cat (Mittens). Gaz and Andy have a weasel (Si). They all agree that Roger Moore was the best James Bond. Over the years, they have played with Pissed Jeans, Nine Black Alps and Ivory Springer.
Following EP releases in 2004 and 2005, MOF released 'I Think I'm Made Out Of Robots' in 2007. This was generally considered to be a good thing. Their debut album 'Divello' is now finished and will be released in the Summer of 2009, once the artwork is complete.
"A bruising, muscular, swaggering sound full of explosive aggression and power, with big heavy riffs and uncompromising songs... puts them in a different league from your average punk, grunge or hardcore band." - Bristol Evening Post
"My Own Flag make a jagged rock noise that conjures up images of Fugazi jamming with Big Black at a Tad gig. This is taut, muscular music. Vocalist Simon Bamber rages his way through proceedings with all the presence of prime Kurt Cobain; veering between eerie calm and erupting anger whilst the guitars crash violently all around him." - UK Music Search
"Sometimes you hear a band that makes you want to sway in time to the music. Sometimes you hear a band that makes you want to dance in a jerky fashion. Or one day you hear MyOwnFlag and they make you feel like throwing yourself around ignoring all impediments like walls or doors. It’s a bruising experience but it feels good." - Coolnoise
"MyOwnFlag demonstrate that, along with Easykill, Fony and Yourcodenameis:milo, the UK alt-rock scene is as healthy as it has been since the likes of the Gang Of Four were in their prime. Not your standard loud/quiet/loud template that's been employed ad nauseum since the Pixies and Nirvana ruled the world and all the better for it." - Hardrockhouse.com
"Reminiscent of influential underground 90’s band Tribute To Nothing (especially the vocals) and with a hint of Fugazi (whether deliberate or not), they offer an uncompromising noise. There are no fluffy edges, it’s all razor blades and intensity." - SouthSCENE
"MyOwnFlag have served up an ace of angular lo-fi rock. MOF manage to switch between several states of distribution between instruments, and this is what makes them worth hearing." - The Mag
"Sounds like the noise Slint and Shellac would make whilst having sex, which is a very good thing." - Jimbrim
