Flight Brigade: International Showcase Fund (Reeperbahn 2016)
Think of Flight Brigade as a family as much as a seven-strong band and you start to understand the chemistry between them. Think of their songs as epic stories to which each member is essential and you begin to grasp what makes their music so powerful. Watch them perform and you can’t fail to be struck by the special bond they share.
Flight Brigade’s strength in numbers suits the scope of their songs, the ambition of their arrangements and the myriad of musical styles in their melting pot. The grand orchestral sweeps, the crunching anthemic guitars, the striking mix of male and female have brought Flight Brigade comparisons to Arcade Fire and Of Monsters and Men.
The band release their debut album ‘Our Friends Our Enemies’ on 14th October 2016 and tour the UK and Germany through the Autumn.
Flight Brigade perform at Reeperbahn Festival to open their album campaign. They’re delighted to receive support from the PRS for Music Foundation’s International Showcase Fund for their appearance in Hamburg.
“…smack-bang into that global radio-friendly crossover territory usually inhabited by Imagine Dragons and The Killers.” – Record of the Day
“There’s no other band like Flight Brigade on the scene at the moment and that’s what makes them so special… ones to watch in 2016” – Drunken Werewolf
“On a warpath to making history… a bit of Muse, compared to My Morning Jacket, but ultimately what we hear is a dark, orchestral, and narrative-driven tour de force.” – New Sick Music
