Our Take

Ah, FLOWERED UP, the band that made Britpop before Britpop was even a thing. Their latest album "A Life With Brian" is a rollercoaster of sound, a kaleidoscope of psychedelia and punk attitude.

Opening track "The Joy of Living" kicks things off with a blast of energy, setting the tone for the rest of the album. Lead singer Brian's vocals are a mix of Kurt Cobain and Jarvis Cocker, with a sprinkle of Liam Gallagher for good measure.

"Phantom Raver" is a standout track, with its infectious melody and soaring guitar riffs. It's the perfect soundtrack to a late-night adventure through the streets of London, as you search for the next big rave.

The band's experimental nature is on full display in tracks like "Crazy Hazy Kisses" and "Flower Freaks", where they seamlessly blend genres and push the boundaries of what rock music can be.

However, the album does have its missteps. "Garden of Misery" feels like a filler track, lacking the punch and excitement of the rest of the album.

Overall, "A Life With Brian" is a wild ride that captures the spirit of 90s Britpop with a modern twist. FLOWERED UP proves that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, and I can't wait to see where they go next. Cheers to Brian, cheers to FLOWERED UP!

About the artist

Flowered Up

Ah, Flowered Up, the band that's as gloriously chaotic as a drunken night out in Camden. Hailing from London, this group of misfits burst onto the scene in the late 80s with their unique blend of indie rock, acid house, and just a touch of madness. Led by frontman Liam Maher, whose onstage antics make Mick Jagger look like a wallflower, Flowered Up's live performances are the stuff of legend. With songs like "It's On" and "Weekender", they captured the essence of youth culture in the early 90s, a time when every weekend felt like an endless party. But behind the party atmosphere lies a darker edge to Flowered Up's music. Tracks like "Phobia" and "Take It" delve into themes of anxiety and desperation, reflecting the gritty reality of growing up in a city that never sleeps. Despite their undeniable talent and raw energy, Flowered Up's career was plagued by inner turmoil and substance abuse, ultimately leading to their untimely demise in the mid-90s. But their legacy lives on, inspiring a new generation of artists who aren't afraid to push the boundaries of what it means to be a musician. So raise a glass to Flowered Up, the band that burned brightly and faded away too soon. Their music may be a relic of a bygone era, but the spirit of rebellion and hedonism lives on in every note they ever played.
