Indie band Flair release self-titled EP

Music Review | 14th Dec, 2024 Flair

Flair began life in 2019 with Callum (drums), Jonny (lead guitar) and Johnnie(bass) forming the core of the band but it wasn't until 2023 when Louis(rhythm guitar) and Tony(vocals) joined that the line up was cemented and the band found their voice.

It quickly became clear that the five members were creating something far larger than the sum of their parts. Each bringing their own voice to their respective instrument, the sound and songs of the band grew organically.

Following the release of their haunting yet driving single Run Away in August, the band return with their new self-titled EP that fixes its heart firmly to its sleeve and isn't afraid to delve deep into the emotional core of songs.

Runaway hopes to provide listeners a vessel to stow the agony associated with an unrequited love. Lead single Swan offers transformation and renewal and Saccharin reminds us that it is always darkest before the dawn. Stadium sized gritty indie rock helps drive home the emotion, as delayed guitars wail away along with the vocals and drums give a pulse to the breaking of hearts.

It's clear from this release that Flair are cultivating a sound, pulling on a vast range of influences not only musical but from the world around them and channeling it into something that is already taking on a life of its own. Their self titled EP cements them as one of the most exciting emerging voices on the scene today.
