Show Notes
For close to 25 years now, Canada's own The Flatliners have been bringing their unique brand of punk to the world.
Formed in 2002, the Ontario group are one of those rare bands who have managed to maintain the same line-up through the entirety of their career.
They've used this stability to craft numerous records over the years, including the likes of 'The Great Awake', 'Cavalcade', and 'Dead Language' on Fat Wreck Chords, and most recently, 'Cold World'.
Their seventh studio album, 'Cold World' is exactly what you're after from a new album by The Flatliners. Sharp yet smooth, but maintaining that frenetic energy that has accompanied their decades of work, it's an album definitely worth your time.
Alongside his time in The Flatliners, guitarist and vocalist Chris Cresswell has spent almost a decade performing a similar role in Hot Water Music.
You might have heard me mention Hot Water Music before, namely due to the fact that bassist Jason Black was the guest in our third-ever episode, and the fact that this very podcast is named after one of their songs.
Needless to say, it's nice to welcome another member of the Hot Water Music family onto the Trusty Chords podcast.
Anyway, have a listen to The Flatliners' 'Cold World', have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.

It's almost impossible to imagine the world of alternative rock without the influence of Dinosaur Jr.
It's a little difficult to think about the Australian music scene of the past 15 years without thinking of The Rubens.
If you're someone who likes their indie rock and alternative music with a healthy dose of shoegaze, well I reckon you'd do pretty well to check out Wishy.
When it comes to folks who ensure their life is surrounded by art, it's hard to look past iOTA.
I'm going to preface things this week by saying this is going to be far from anything close to a normal podcast.
