Description

Compilation of THE FLAMING SIDEBURNS "Rocket Science - Original Artyfacts from The Psychedelic Era 1996-1999". It's all in the title, it's going to fuzz! For fans of THUNDER EXPRESS, MÄRVEL, THE NOMADS, GLUECIFER. The cornerstone of garage rock, The Flaming Sideburns, will release a unique compilation of their early tracks in November 2024. The carefully curated collection, assembled by the band and Svart Records, includes a total of 13 studio recordings from 1996 to 1999, three of which are unreleased, while the rest appeared on limited sold-out releases around the turn of the millennium. The team behind the compilation, titled Rocket Science, is familiar to those who know the band: the cover was created by the band's first guitarist, Vilunki 3000, and the mastering was done by the band's trusted producer, Jürgen Hendlmeier. Some elements of the compilation album arrive at a time when the band is at the most important moment of its career. "Musically, Rocket Science tells the story of the moment when the long-dreamed American tour of the band finally materialized in 1999 and when The Flaming Sideburns went to New York for a recording session before returning to Finland. During the tour, we verbally signed a recording contract with Bad Afro in Bellingham at the Garageshock festival. As a result, our first 'official' album It's Time To Testify...Brothers & Sisters was released at the end of the same year, and thus the band's story really began when the era of Rocket Science was over," explains the band's singer Eduardo Martinez, contextualizing the importance of the upcoming release as a kind of turning point in the band's history. Founded in 1995, The Flaming Sideburns had already toured on both sides of the Atlantic before the turn of the millennium, long before the garage rock boom of the early 2000s with hundreds of new bands. During its years of activity, the band released three compilation albums and four studio albums, the latest, Silver Flames, was released by Svart Records in 2021. The Flaming Sideburns' compilation album, 'Rocket Science - Original Artyfacts from The Psychedelic Era 1996-1999', will be released on November 1, 2024, in black vinyl, limited translucent red vinyl, and of course in classic CD format.
