Flow 14 - Biography

Flow 14 have returned with their highly anticipated follow-up to their 2007 release ‘Disaffected Youth of America with the new album ‘The Divine Pinata’––a no-holds-barred attack on everything pop-culture. Deeply rooted in the bands disdainful view of world politics and organized religion, the album takes aim at the very essence of what most consider ‘normal life’.

From the sarcastic Ska muses of ‘Prophet for Profit’ which jabs directly at pseudo-religious cults, to the hardcore punk onslaught of ‘Wasted Generation’ toting the infamous and facetious line “Stay In School and Open Fire”, Flow 14 unabashedly takes the piss out of everything they deem worthy. Thus, if you have any ties to wrong-wing politics, belief in imaginary friends or deities, or feel that anti-choice is a sane choice, then this album is not for you! Everyone else is welcome to join in.
