Wild Flag "Boom"


Wild Flag released their self-titled debut album late last year (via Wichita Recordings) to much, well deserved, critical acclaim. The quartet consists of Carrie Brownstein (guit/vox), Mary Timony (guit/vox), Rebecca Cole (keys/vox), and Janet Weiss (kit/vox). Although all members have known each other through different bands and tours for sometime -you may remember Brownstein and Weiss from their Sleater Kinney days (and Brownstein more recently from IFC's Portlandia)- Brownstein explains "I think we realised that we could be greater than the sum of our parts, not four disparate puzzle pieces trying to make sense of each other, but a cohesive and dynamic whole." Check out the bands latest single "Boom" (below) and if you're in the UK check them out on tour near you soon.
