Ready, Aim, Fire! Over the past three years The Backyard Flames have been loyal to their cause... to cause as much noise as possible. And having performed in and around the capital(LONDON-UK) – as well as having been on the same bill as Babyshambles – their gigs are a joyous parade of kickin’ tracks and audience interaction which has made the future indie stars a much loved outfit on the scene. To get a feel for their sound, it would have a tag that represents punk but naturally with modern intent and the greater good of indie rock, but the sound is theirs and theirs alone.

I thank you. Danny Cheesewright Band Menagerie The Backyard Flames put the enthusiastic crowd into a sonic vortex of non apologetic loud indie beats, which often indulged into an everything but timid flirt with metal. It was well received by the young animated listeners. Noize makes enemies review at the water rats london 09
