But in a world where reality-show contestants are struggling to receive even 12 minutes of fame, the band says it had to prove it wasn't just the Richard Hatch of the music biz. -Mark Armstrong, E-Online.com
Sold out gigs, screaming autograph seekers, groupies - it comes with the territory of being a rock star. Although such amenities are usually reserved for bands who reach stardom on the heels of a platinum album or two, Dallas' Flickerstick are enjoying the perks while still selling the bulk of their CDs from the trunk of a car. -MTV.com
They are unpredictable with the will and the ability to go down any number of musical avenues. -Jay Jacobs, Pop Entertainment

This rock infusion became known from their VH1 Bands on the Run victory, and continues to soar many years after. The mischievous masterminds of the five-piece rock explosion have yet to experience a dull moment in their fledging music dynasty. From a young Dallas band to VH1 TV stardom with a recording deal and national radio singles, their intense touring, raucous records and constant promotion still haven't cooled their heels as the "Band on the Run" gracefully pairs sonic excitement and DIY-ethics over cigarettes and spilled beer.

RED FLAG is back!!

Expect a new Red Flag album to release this summer. Revealing his plans for Red Flag, Chris tells it all in his recent interview with Matt Willis and Grave Concerns Ezine . "The sound of the new material is a true Red Flag sound -as true as it can be without my brother Mark," Said Chris in the recent interview. "When it's released its sure to take the music world by storm. I hope Red Flag fans will continue to be as supportive and loyal as they have proven to be in the past. I know they won't be disappointed.
 
Red Flag made the top 10 Billboard charts in 1988 with their memorable song Russian Radio. The next year Red Flag's debut album, Naive Art, released by Enigma, earned them another top 10 single, If I Ever. Red Flag's music became a favorite in dance clubs around the world. MTV put Red Flag's video, Russian Radio, in heavy rotation later that year. Touring extensively, Red Flag played with acts Devo, Thomas Dolby, and Book of Love. They appeared on the TV show American bandstand where they performed Russian Radio. Since then, Red Flag released 11 albums, 14 CD singles, two box sets and appeared on numerous compilations. Their music has been featured on MTV reality shows. The band has played concerts around the world in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico, and Peru. The music of Red Flag has evolved from New Wave Dance synthpop to darker and highly textured industrial melodies. Their work has inspired countless bands and garnered fans around the globe. The untimely death of Mark Reynolds in 2003, brought to a halt the creative output of Red Flag. In time, however, Chris Reynolds has become inspired and has opted to carry on the banner of Red Flag. Chris, acting alone, is the composer, arranger, singer, and producer of Red Flag's yet to be named new album. "Given good exposure, this album will take the world by storm when I release it." he said. "The time was right for me to write again. I kept coming up with these vivid melodies and great ideas for new songs kept coming to me. I'd find myself waking up in the middle of the night to compose elements of the songs before I forgot them. I'm almost finished with all the tracks and it rocks!"
 
Red Flag's album is expected to release by summer.
