Laflamme - Firetruck

 

  Since forming in 2013, Surrey 4 piece rock and punk band Laflamme have released a handful of well received eps and singles, the latest being the "name your price" single Firetruck/Lemon Squeezy which came out last summer and which you can find along with their earlier work here :  https://laflammeband.bandcamp.com/

  With influences as diverse as AC/DC, Lou Reed, Ramones, Blink 182, Biffy Clyro and Iron Maiden, this is a band that are skilled musicians playing high octane rock music that has a punk attitude. The line up features Richie Lambert (guitar/vocals), Kieron Robathan (guitar/vocals), Alex Dobouney (drums) and Ditch (bass/vocals).

  This is a slow burner of a song that builds to a rousing climax and it's called Firetruck....

   I got a message from the maker and he spoke to me . I got a message from the maker and he said to me : "You talk about the summer of disquiet, kids in the street just wanna riot , the heat's so hot ma pores are poppin' ,you want some mercy ..you're gonna get shot ...'cause am burning up ,am burning up baby ,baby am the Firetruck , am burning up ,am burning up ..pour on the petrol.... Man on the line he's got horn rimmed glasses ,he's making some fun on the warring classes , said "I don't like people carrying guns out in the heat and under the sun , in the desert there's a body stewing down in the gulf there's always something brewing...Iranian ,Iraqian , American out of a garbage can ,Israelian ,Muslim man I seen the U.N. and The U.N. is damned ..oh am burning up ,am burning up ,baby baby am The Firetruck , am burning up ,am burning up ..pour on the petrol ...... I look back to my childhood days , I was safe beneath the waves , I never thought it would come to this ..the World is a fool , The World is a fool ..... ..an' The World (x16 ) ....Oh am burning up ,am burning up baby, baby 'am the Firetruck..'am burning up 'am burning up.... pour on the petrol (x 4)

LaFlamme - Broken Hearted Sons



  Today's update features a song that's being released on the 15th April on GoLoud Records with the aim of raising funds for the charity Muscular Dystrophy UK. All proceeds will go to the charity so check it out. There's a release party, the details of which are above.

  LaFlamme formed in 2013 in Surrey, England and are comprised of Richie Lambert (guitars/vocals), Kieron Robathan (guitar/vocals), Dan Motchman (drums) and Ditch (bass/vocals). They mix up old school punk with '70's rock and have drawn inspiration from artists as diverse as The Ramones, AC/DC, Lou Reed, Blink 182, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro.

  Early gigs saw them supporting The Ramonas and The Sex Pissed Dolls and they've proved popular enough to be invited to play the Isle Of Wight Festival. Recent times have seen them keeping busy working on a cd in aid of Muscular Dystrophy, a cause close to their hearts (2 of Kieron's cousins suffer from the disease).

  The ep features 3 tracks and you can find out more about it, along with details on t shirts and various merchandise (the proceeds of which will also go to the charity) here : http://www.goloudpromotions.co.uk/#!store/lw6r1
