“Now together and keen to make the push into the unforgiving, unpredictable, and unpromising music industry of Australia.
“We are approaching this endeavour with an earned confidence, having matured in the entertainment business, that will assist in navigating some of the pitfalls and roadblocks common to aspiring bands.”
Their upcoming EP is volume one of a series of four that will be released this year, each written and recorded independently in the band’s living rooms and bedrooms.
“The ability to record a quality product at home with today’s technology and Nick’s expertise has allowed leeway to use the money saved in the process to support tours, videos and other generally pricey avenues. to showcase our music,” Mr McCarthy said.
Release dates for the EP and launch night will be posted on Flying Double Front Kick’s social media platforms soon.
