Based out of the Niagara region, leaving their mark everywhere they play, FLATLINED has delivered nuclear shows on every stage they have played on. Blending aggressive, melodic riffs with powerful but evocative vocals, FLATLINED 's sound appeals to a wide audience without losing its distinctive edge. With explosive live performances, touring across Canada 3 times in 2007 alone, and independently selling 5,500 albums along the way, this four-piece alternative rock band is proving they have more than just potential to offer.
It's been a busy five years for the band. A debut CD Guilty Of in 2004, now in its third pressing, and still selling, has enjoyed great response from the media and the Canadian music industry. A sold-out limited edition live CD/DVD video are just a few of the items FLATLINED has managed to fit in, between sharing the stage with bands like Everclear, Collective Soul, Social Code, The Trews, The Salads, Faber Drive, Marianas Trench, Skindred, and many others. Following their success with their initial releases, they proceeded to record and release their latest effort, "The Deaf Leading the Blind" which has been receiving radio play across the country. The CD, which has been released in all major retail outlets in Canada, features the single "The Deaf Leading the Blind", which the band filmed their first music video for. The video has also seen lots of success across the internet, being viewed tens of thousands of times by fans. In conjunction with a cross-Canada promotional tour, this progressive new album promises to impress and expand FLATLINED 's growing audience. The band's hard work and determination to succeed in the music industry has not gone unnoticed. Industry sponsorships from Jim Dunlop, Dava Picks, Spector Bass, Firewire Strings, Los Cabos, and Pro Resolution Audio, each testify to FLATLINED 's professional appeal.
"As an Indie band, we've been lucky enough to benefit from endorsements and widespread college radio play just on the strength of our first CD," says lead singer Wes Stonos. "But our new album has really come together to reflect the progress we've made in songwriting and musical style."
Great gear, a new CD, a national tour, and a tireless commitment to rock, proves that FLATLINED 's success so far is only the beginning.
"We've learned a lot on the road", adds guitarist Jimi Battle. "I think we've kept our promise to each other and our supporters that we're ready for the next step."
That next step may be just around the corner. With an upcoming tour across the United states in the summer of 2008, an extensive European tour in the fall of 2008, and new demo's that are finding their way into the studio for the next album.
Extensive print and e-media coverage, being nominated for 2 Niagara Music awards as well as winning awards from Garageband.com and Mixposure.com, and taking home Supernova Entertainment's People's Choice Award, "Local Band Most Likely To Make It Big" - pulse magazine 2007 means that FLATLINED will only continue to impress as they establish themselves within the industry.
"The last twelve months have been a real accomplishment for us," says lead singer Stonos. "But we've only just started to explore the possibilities available in the music business. We feel like we're in a great position to talk about professional partnerships and we're willing to work our butts off to get where we want to go."
