We really like rock and roll music.
Flatfoot's been a band since 2000. Since then, we've been lucky enough to put out some albums, play cool venues in Michigan and Chicago and share the stage with great local bands and bigger acts like Robbie Fulks, The Hard Lessons, Headlights, Marah, Anders Parker (Varnaline, Gob Iron), The Starlite Desperation and The Yayhoos.
This record is the finest, most wide ranging that we've made. It has everything we wanted to put in an album: the driving rock of Track's End, the twangy harmonies of Ode to a Mac's Bar Waitress, the loss and regret of Letters and Photos, the lap steel stomp of Grandaddy, etc.
Track's End was a fun album to make - enjoy!

"Whoa! Who revived Johnny Cash and transplanted him into Flatfoot?"
author: State News
The first thing that comes to mind when Flatfoot's intro chimes in is, "Whoa! Who revived Johnny Cash and transplanted him into Flatfoot?" Flatfoot's music resembles a more bluegrass side of folk-country than Cash, but brothers Aaron and Jason Bales' voices recall particular Cash tracks.
The first full song "Fire (2 am)," starts loud and finishes loud - drawing on some of the best lyrics and folk-style vocals Flatfoot has to give. The drums begin the song, but the guitars quickly take over, demonstrating true western style.
Each song showcases the band's love for twang and rock, which are fused relentlessly, building intricate layers of music. Once the base is set, the lyrics take over, and the band relies on the singing abilities of the front men brothers.
Flatfoot's twang roots build a great base for the majority of their songs, but their love of rock 'n' roll pays off - they are able to develop a traditionally "lost" genre into one with modern roots and appreciation.
