Artist History Beginning in 1995, The Putrid Flowers have slowly become one of the most popular east coast punk bands. Their relentless touring (in the face of several line-up changes) has gained them an army of loyal fans, and their shows have been widely heralded by critics and fans alike. Rather than release a Full-length, The Flowers choose instead to release a steady flow of singles that have been included on various punk rock compilations. Their aggressive musical style combined with interesting catchy vocal hooks and poignant lyrics has set them apart from the often faceless slew of pop-punk bands, and has been widely acclaimed by music critics. It is this originality that has made them the darlings of the New York City Punk scene. Finally acceding to the growing popular demand for a full-length, the Putrid Flowers have recently completed their first album entitled "...And For the Little Children, Sing." This record includes 5 of the bands first singles as well as 13 new songs. It has been described as catchy and fun, as well as deep and thought provoking. The album's first single "If I Just Could Make It On My Own," has been accepted and included on compilations issued on the East and West Coasts as well as down South and even in Brazil! The song has finally gotten the Flowers some long-deserved airplay on stations in NYC, New Jersey, and in St. Louis. Email smiged@aol.com for information.
