Our Take

Manchester band Flowered Up burst onto the scene with their debut album "A Life With Brian," and let me tell you, it's an absolute riot. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where every day is a party and every night is a never-ending dance-off.

The album kicks off with the infectious energy of "Take It," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. With their unique blend of indie rock and dance music, Flowered Up have crafted a sound that is both fresh and familiar, with nods to the Madchester scene of the late 80s and early 90s.

Tracks like "It's On" and "Phobia" are perfect examples of Flowered Up's ability to blend catchy hooks with danceable beats, creating songs that are equal parts anthemic and infectious. And when they slow things down on tracks like "Weekender" and "Don't Talk Just Kiss," you can't help but sway along to the dreamy melodies and introspective lyrics.

But perhaps the standout track on the album is the epic closer, "Take My Face." Clocking in at over ten minutes long, this track is a journey in itself, with swirling guitars, pulsating synths, and a relentless groove that builds to a euphoric crescendo.

In conclusion, Flowered Up's "A Life With Brian" is a must-listen for anyone craving a dose of nostalgia and a hit of pure adrenaline. So grab your glow sticks, dust off your dancing shoes, and get ready to lose yourself in the infectious sounds of 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.
