The Flashlights

Your New Favorite Band

About Me

The Flashlights were conceived by myself, Josh and former "member", Ad Byerly in the spring of 2007. I have written and recorded pretty much all of our songs. Which is at about 33 these days, with 15 or so being lost forever on my old computer. But if I had to play these songs live, it would probably be with Brian and Jon 'cause their my homeboys from way back. Let us know what you think. Even if you think we suck. We love when people think we suck.

Ideas

Well I've gotten a lot of weird ideas lately. Like last night I was listening to "Drive For Daddy Gene" by Alan Jackson and I got really inspired to write some country stuff. Kind of like that, maybe ...

New Member, New Songs and Other Updates

Well, in case you haven't heard (which you probably haven't) we have a new member, Ad Byerly. Ad should probably sophisticate our sound because he has a much more substantial scale vocabulary. We talk...

Sexy Improvisation on the Window Sill

We're getting more and more pissed off at our situation. It's like no one else is interested in playing music in Liberty. We tried to pick up Jon Snell, but shit, he wasn't even allowed to leave the h...
