| Based out of the Niagara region —and leaving their mark everywhere they play— Flatlined is one of Canada’s top unsigned acts. Blending aggressive, melodic riffs with the powerful but evocative voice of Wes Stonos, Flatlined’s explosive performances have earned them a well-deserved reputation for rocking the indie circuit in Canada and the US.
Flatlined burst onto the scene in early 2004 with their debut album “Guilty Of…” which has sold over 1000 copies to date. Since then Flatlined has toured over 200 venues, opening for bands like Out Of Your Mouth, Helix, Mudmen, Quiet Riot, Klear, Dead Celebrity Status, and Skindred! Whether they’re entertaining audiences of 12 or 1200, Flatlined has a habit of stealing the show. “Our live show is dynamite,” says guitarist James Lowman, “you haven’t seen a band until you’ve seen Flatlined live.” Blending elements of bands like A Perfect Circle, Finger Eleven, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine, Flatlined’s sound appeals to a wide audience without losing its distinctive edge.
Without a doubt, 2005 has been the busiest year for Flatlined yet. The band debuted their first music video, “Bliss and Hell” (directed and shot by Oscar Navarro) which was released independently in early 2005. The video has become a hit with Flatlined’s fans, and is being packaged together, along with previously-unseen band interviews and studio footage, with their first LIVE album.
In addition to this DVD/CD release, Flatlined is currently working on their anxiously-awaited sophomore album. In collaboration with producer Dan Preston (Clarknova) the new album will include the smash hits “Drowning”, “Way too Long” and “Just Try,” and is slated for release in August 2005. With Flatlined’s established and enthusiastic fanbase in the Niagara region and rapidly growing popularity in cities like Toronto, Hamilton, Cambridge, London, Northern Ontario, and Buffalo (NY), this album promises to impress —and expand—their growing audiences.
In the meantime, Flatlined will be on an extensive Ontario tour this summer and plans are in the works for a cross-Canada tour in the fall of 2005. But all this activity, including receiving awards from garageband.com and extensive media coverage in Southwestern Ontario, hasn’t slowed the band down a bit. “The last twelve months have been a real success for us,” says lead singer Wes Stonos. “We’ve established a great fanbase and gain more with every show we play. But we’re not about to stop there. . . Flatlined has had a great year but we’re convinced what we’ve done so far is just the beginning. And we’re willing to work our asses off to get where we want to go.”
