A four headed Irish-Australian rock hydra from Sydney’s inner west, FLICKERTAIL, (formerly The Bitter Sweethearts), played guitar-fuelled rock and roll exactly the way it’s supposed to be played. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Thin Lizzy, the Dubliners, Airbourne and The Darkness, the band honed their sound in the garages and booze dens of Sydney before hitting the road in 2015 to showcase their unique sound at every pub, club and back yard along Australia’s eastern coast.
‘Evidence of Life (Live in the Studio)‘ is taken from the upcoming EP Afterlife. Afterlife is the posthumous EP from Sydney’s premier retro-rock band FLICKERTAIL. ‘Evidence of Life (Live in the Studio)’ is a belligerently optimistic ode to misspent youth. Through slinky and jubilant guitar hooks and the finest hi-hat work Sydney’s ever seen, they tell a story of no money, no jobs, and the time of their lives.
On Afterlife there are no overdubs, no studio magic, just the raw, unfiltered energy of a phenomenal live act at the zenith of their powers.
Afterlife features five tales of kitchen-sink drama and ill-advised adventures recorded live in the studio. Each tune carries the band’s signature dual-guitar attack, heartfelt lyrics, and lead vocalist and chief songwriter Liam Whelan’s soulful, crooning voice.
