Defined by their good time guitar licks and blazing rhythms, this delight from the UK seemed poised to hit the big time, yet never did. They’re a riveting combination of Grand Funk meets Lynyrd Skynyrd, combined with the sensibilities and smart lyrics of The Doobie Brothers, along with the swagger of Neil Young & Crazy Horse, on “Captain’s Orders.” Their lyrics are centered and upfront, relentlessly carried forward by instrumentation bound for fun in the sun and two pieced bathing suites.

If there was anything that lead to the demise of Nation Flag before they had even hit the charts, it was the rise of punk in England, where all at once bands like this found themselves out in the cold, with nowhere to go except for a self-pressing to promote themselves … in this case a limited quantity of 100 copies, making this album a first rate addition to any collection. Like Wishbone Ash, Nation Flag employed twin lead guitars that’s just savage and heavy enough, along with driving bass lines, to make this a stoner’s delight. The album has been remastered from the original tapes for CD, along with some extra tracks that are just as wasted and worthy
