Final Flash

This past year was a whirlwind for newcomers, Final Flash. Based in Montreal, this emerging quintet, is rapidly making waves with their unique brand of psychedelic folk-rock.

Final Flash have quickly caught the attention of fans, local media and programmers, landing shows at Canadian Music Week, Pop Montreal, the Whistler Canadian Music Showcase, part of the Whistler’s Filmmaker Forum, as well as Transmission – an elite international conference for music and technology, held annually in Vancouver.

The band’s Fall 2008 performance at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Canadian Music Café – a showcase specifically for music supervisors – was so well received, that they landed an international publishing deal with Los Angeles based North Star Media.

The band once again received great reviews from music supervisors and media for their shows both at CMW and SXSW in March 2009, as well as NXNE where they were approached (and now putting a deal together) by EMI, adding to the buzz, which continues to gain momentum surrounding this exciting young band. Final Flash went to China in April-May of 2009 as part of TRANSMIT-China. The Chinese tour was such a success that the band has already been invited back to both China and Japan for asian festivals in 2010, and locally play international showcase event M for Montreal in November 2009.

The young five-piece just put the final touch on their debut album Homeless, produced by Jace Lasek available digitally on the 20th of April. With EMI jumping on board for the physical release, Homeless will be available in stores on May 4th 2010.
