The band Flannel Mouth recently released an amazing new album titled The Prisoner’s Cinema. The record follows a story line to which constant themes are prevalent, making it stand apart from the standard album. It consists of a three-part play, which would be interesting to watch. I could almost visualize the scenes the way the descriptive lyrics of Luke Myers paint vivid images. The blend of instruments create a broad contrast from song to song maintaining my full attention. Flannel Mouth’s musicianship is tight and each track includes a wide dynamics range. I highly recommend this album, whether you want to feel a rush of drum rolls going through you, strong harmonic male vocals, or a calming ride guided by soothing instruments, it makes for a great source of entertainment meshing the worlds of music and acting in one. If you are one who can relate to the struggles and insanity of life you also might feel a sense of comfort, as the jury & blood are main topics. The album title seems perfect for the occasion. 🙂

Biography : Flannel Mouth, an old western term for “one having a way with words,” keeps its definition intact as this four-piece theatrical rock act releases its debut LP, “The Prisoner’s Cinema.” Vocalist/lyricist, Luke Myers, tells the tragic, gruesome story of a young man learning the difference between love and crimes of passion. The frenzied and guttural story is matched by its soundtrack — manic-albeit-fluid — punctuated by the eccentric bass lines of Ryan Batalon, heavy swing beats of Tyler Owen, and the atmospheric leads of Zachary Hartman on guitar, trumpet, organ, fiddle, and more. If Tarantino wrote a script to be scored by The Dear Hunter, performed by Cursive, engineered by Foxy Shazam, and produced by Brand New, Flannel Mouth would be the end result. And one would certainly not want to miss that feature presentation.
What the Media is Saying About FLANNEL MOUTH:
“The biggest hardcore music lovers hold each precious band close to their heart. The constant struggle to keep them to yourself repeats itself with every listen, yet you share them with the world around you. You hate the idea of them becoming “mainstream” or for them to “sell out,” but inside, you know everyone would connect with this band you cherish so much. It’s that bittersweet struggle of remaining somewhere between underground and breaking through. This is one of those bands.” – Goodnight Magazine [LINK]
“Flannel Mouth may come from a town of a thousand, but the four-piece group has probably been described in a couple thousand ways. Their sound is unlike any other, and that’s something the guys embrace.” – Highlight Magazine [LINK]
“The song, though independent of an album, showcases the emergence of Flannel Mouth’s ability to write a hard-hitting single whilst staying true to their unique brand of theatric rock.” – Hellhound Magazine [LINK]
“If you’re bored of listening to the same type of music and want something with some grit, these songs tempt you to reach for a glass of some good bourbon and dream about how hot hell is.” –Eat Sleep Breathe Music [LINK]
