So Mnementh just quoted one of their songs to lock someones thread, and I was wondering if anyone else was into em back in the day.

Oh man, I still rock out to Come Find Yourself.  That's pretty old at this point, February of 1996.  That's when I bought the album.  They played WDRE Bitterfest in 1997 as the station was going off the air.  Damn that brings back memories.

They're still around, recording a new album a new album in London right now.

Yeah, I used to spin that record on a regular basis. I was something Tarantino nut in my youth so I latched onto them because of the connection.

FLC fact: one of their number was in legendary NYHC band the Cro-Mags, I believe it's the drummer who replaced the guy who got busted for making obscene phonecalls right here in Leeds.

They were one of the first two bands that got me into actual music back in the day, the other being weezer. Come Find Yourself was a bomb ass album, and I still rock it too.

Used to love those guys, Come Find Yourself and 100% Columbian were such good "fun" albums, man I haven't listened to them in years. I remember I used to go see them everytime they played Ireland (which was quite alot, they love the country so much they actually bought a bar in Dublin and co-own another one). They were a great live act too, just pure entertainment

Aye, the FLCs are quality, as mentioned, good fun music. Saw 'em live at Reading a couple of years back and they were really good, Huey was bollocksed as well, which is always funny.
