"frbv - Glemni Essi review"

Flint come from Edmonton. Flint are crazy. Glemno Essi is about fifteen minutes of hysteria, with load of duo vocals yelling, noisy guitars and some dancy rhythms, this sounds a lot like The Blood Brothers. That's weird and i like it! - http://frbv.blogspot.com


"Play Me Something That I Know - Glemno Essi review"

This is something really crazy and weird.
Noise, noise, noise. Punk, punk, punk.
Gorgeous band from Edmonton, Canada.
Strongly recommended to listen, when you want to tear everything apart but you are too weak for this shit cause you have awful hangover.
This band is for angry shitty stupid dancers just like you. So use it every morning for exercises.
Must have for fans of Holy Molar, AIDS Wolf, Some Girls, early Black Dice, The Locust, Ex Models.

"War Wounds review"

I fell in love with this band about a month ago when I saw them in Edmonton. Kevin at Gonna Get Sued provides a delicate and accurate desription of the band:

"They make the Locust look like hacks and Blood Brothers look like amateurs. I suppose that's what happens, geniuses born amidst the isolation of small towns, you take 90's pop culture, face paint, guitar wizardry, the most deft drumming ever, back hair, a vocalist who doesn't know whether he's singing or vomiting into the mic, stick all that in a blender and hit frappe - and you end up with this horribly delicious concoction that is Flint." - warwounds.blogspot.com


"Gonna Get Sued Review"

Flint are maniacs. That's pretty much the best way to describe them: Maniacs. Every comparison falls flat. I didn't think after the death of Fuck the Tundra, that anything these members did afterwards could top the insanity of their previous band - but Flint are on another plane. They make the Locust look like hacks and Blood Brothers look like amateurs. I suppose that's what happens, geniuses born amidst the isolation of small towns, you take 90's pop culture, face paint, guitar wizardry, the most deft drumming ever, back hair, a vocalist who doesn't know whether he's singing or vomiting into the mic, stick all that in a blender and hit frappe - and you end up with this horribly delicious concoction that is Flint. I don't get it, I just drink from the cup of maniacs.

"Glemno Essi - Argue Job review"

NEW AGE FOR THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS! Take all your clothes off and jump in the guitar volcano!! Skip to track four: “ignore” if you want to TRIP OUT. Is that Jermaine Clement on back ups???? Probably. No one wakes up and says “I want to be TRAPPED IN THE MOUTH OF A DOG” but yet they pop on some Flint and start to second guess themselves. That’s what it’s all about, folks. Music.
