there..s a light that never goes out...
...is what the smiths already knew at their time, and by now our time has come to say goodbye.
flyswatter are going to discontinue.
after 12 years, about 12 changing members, tons of fun on tour and in the studio we shout out a big "THANK YOU" to all our friends and fans of the last years.
we’ll certainly keep up making music... so stay tuned for our future projects, write us on myspace, and keep enjoying our past 3 albums!
we love you ::: yours ::: florry, gudz, kryshi, lirkos, joi
In a musical universe, where more and more acts claim the genre emo-core while actual emotion, passion and sincerity falls to the wayside, it is indeed refreshing to watch these five Bavarian musicians reclaim the landscape of passionate punkrock, melodic hardcore, hard hitting rock, intense indie music or whatever name so-called authorities try to choke the musical content with this week (we leave this part to the people who get paid for making up genres like that) The facts about Flyswatter speak louder than any slogan or shallow definition ever could: the band is in its 11th year of existence, where other bands tried to fly their opportunist-flags in whichever direction the market-wind was blowing at the time, they got more intense and they sound more focused and passionate than everuntouched by the ups and downs of the ever changing tastes, they earned their keeps in todays German and European scene. No stage too small to conquer Steady live shows have turned them into not only a tight machine, but more importantly a real unit5 personalities feeding off of each other on and off stage. And while other bands would waste their time complaining why lesser US-acts get treated like emperors on European ground and yet local bands have to persuade every audience member with their sweat & talent, Flyswatter chose to do just thatplaying to more people time and time againhaving a great time providing honest and heartfelt music to whoever is down for the cause and making it hard not to feel that you are witnessing something real, while seeing them play, hearing their records or just hanging out with them as people. 3 full length records into their career they get ready to strike once more, widening the genre-gaps between songs, breaking new ground with a new record in 2005. Real emotion by real people.
