Rising Stage
Flashguns have arrived with a hatful of wisdom that belies their tender years. The proof is in their careening, guitar-driven and synth-flecked songs, which comes on both charmingly melancholic and deeply thoughtful. They took a slot on the BBC's Introducing stage at the 2008 Reading and Leeds Festivals instead, stopping and transfixing people on their way to see much bigger bands. If it wasn't for Flashguns's ambition and boldness, this terrifying early experience might have created a pile of soiled keks. But to say that they have his sights aimed high would be an understatement, as will be seen at Summer Sundae this year...
