The Flatliners Talk About Their New Album

On April 13th Canadian punk rock act The Flatliners will be releasing their all new album entitled Cavalcade on Fat Wreck Chords.

The band had actually thought of a different album title in mind initially and recently talked about it on Fat Wreck Chords’ website:

When we were on tour last March, we met Joey from Full House (aka Dave Coulier) in a bar in Cleveland. I drunkenly slipped him a copy of ‘The Great Awake’ and we began talking about music and Canada. He turned out to be a pretty cool dude, other than ironically wearing a Betty Ford Clinic shirt while drinking red wine. Anyways, after Uncle Joey left the bar that night, the jokes began that we would name our new record ‘Dave Coulier Has Our Last Record.’ Once we sobered up in the morning and realized that was an awful idea, we decided to name our new album ‘CAVALCADE’. And we are beyond stoked to announce that it will be coming out this April on FatWreck of course.

Since every record is vaguely conceptual even if you’re not going for the painful uber-concept-record thing like Coheed and Cambria, and since we basically live like homeless people while we’re on tour most of each year, ‘Cavalcade’ has taken on the overall theme of unity through disconnectedness. Happiness in uncertain times. Humanity is flawed but we can all still party, right? That’s what we wrote about, and that’s how we live. We love what we do an couldn’t be happier with the way it has all turned out.

Two things about this… 

  • 1.)  Why did they not keep the name? 
  • 2.)  I missed The Flatliners AND Dave Coulier in Cleveland????  Where was I?

Couple videos for you all…
