The growing popularity of Toronto punk/reggae-rockers The Flatliners is as much to do with friendship as anything else. With all members—Chris Cresswell, Scott Brigham, Jon Darbey and Paul Ramirez—barely into their 20s, and knowing each other since elementary school, it sure makes the success of their second CD, The Great Awake, that much easier to handle. “Getting along definitely helps, having known the guys as long as we’ve all known each other, you can really say anything to one another,” says Cresswell. “I’m not saying that we can rip into each other and have no one be offended, but you can have a serious conversation in a not so serious way.” Featuring the radio-friendly singles “Eulogy” and “The Respirator,” The Great Awake is affording The Flatliners the opportunity to stay out on tour and capture the ears of rocker kids abroad.
