"The production befits the band’s huge sound and layered atmospherics. Some bands just can’t pull off an electronic rock hybrid sound, these guys do seamlessly . . . While AF is a band with heavy synth flavor, the catchy, guitar-driven songs are arranged so soundly that they would rock without the synth" (WVRockScene).

Attack Flamingo, from Huntington, WV, is Sean Knisely (guitar, vox), Joseph Spurgeon (synth), Marty Brown (guitar), Patrick Stanley (bass), and Sam Hodge (drums, electronics). Attack Flamingo brings an energetic stage presence and intensity live, captured in the band's second indie release thanks to a year of meticulous recording and mixing. Keith "Plex" Barnhart (Jamiroquai, Janet Jackson, Duran Duran) mastered the album, which is available on iTunes and Amazon mp3.

Attack Flamingo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel you now
Turned around and you were coming down
And I can feel the weight of this all falling
And I can feel the weight of this all falling
Down

I can see you now
Looked around but you were deeper down

And I can feel the weight of this all falling

And I can feel the weight of this all falling
Down

I can see you now

and all my weight is falling
I believe you now

I sense the weight of everything that's falling
