Flyin Ike are a Surrey band comprising of six individuals with an Idea: "Cherry Hardcore" - an intriguing smooth roast of pop, rock, hardcore, jazz and barbershop. On drums is Robinson Walker, bass is provided by Marcus Bridge, dual guitars from Fil Weltoni/Shaun O'Reilley with vocal duties shared between Ashley Cleaver and Rachel Grainger Jones.

They have been described as "...one of the most exciting bands around today, not only to hear, but also to behold", due to their artistic, energetic and passionate stage shows which must be seen to be believed.

They have released three EPs to date: "Meet Me In The Sun", "On Forms" and their newly-completed offering "The Walled City", all of which have been received with great enthusiasm from fans and press alike. They have been featured on radio stations around the world, including Total Rock, Express FM and Spin radio in Spain. They have been reviewed, rated and promoted in magazines throughout the UK and have also been featured on national television with their single "Rubble Robble".

"If the Devil has a room reserved for me in hell ...[the music] will be alternating between 'I Kissed a Girl', 'She's So Lovely', a selection of R and B songs and Flyin' Ike's 'Area Manager' for all eternity..." - the-mag.co.me
