FOR FANS OF: New Found Glory, With Confidence, Neck Deep
Flight Club are a rock band from Richmond, VA and they've just released their debut album today, Until The Sun Drowns. It's a strong record, fantastic from start to finish. Flight Club is Charlie Mahoney, Sam Tucker, Alex Triantafilledes, and Harry Ellis. They formed in college, and spent time playing every club venue & living room they possibly could before getting on the road. After a year of touring the East coast, Midwest, and as well as a trip to Canada, they signed with hometown label Open Your Ears Records. They released an EP late 2019, Recreational Love, which was produced by Alan Day of the band Four Year Strong.
I love Until The Sun Drowns because of how fresh it sounds and how honest the lyrics are. About the record, Sam Tucker of Flight Club said, "For us, Until The Sun Drowns was the opportunity to explore so many of the influences that we wanted to touch on as a band, without sacrificing songs or styles to fit the mold of what our genre "should" sound like. We hope anyone who listens to this record can hear the freedom of creativity that we felt working on each song. There's truly something for everyone on this album and we hope it can speak to you as a whole." I can certainly hear the freedom of creativity that they felt throughout the record, it speaks through the music. Until The Sun Drowns is a mostly high energy record that'll wake you up in the morning, that'll help you feel better when you're down, a record that will eventually become one of your all time favorite records.
My favorite tracks off the record are "Adolescence," "I've Been Kicked Out Of Better Homes Than This," and "Two Tongues." Overall this record is a mixed bag of sounds - some parts remind me of early 00's rock, others mid-2010's pop punk, but all together it just sounds like Flight Club. What makes this record so special to me is that it's something genuine and real, it's rock music with a familiar, nostalgic feeling that makes it friendly and comforting. It's a record that I'll revisit years to come, finding joy in it always.
