Back in the days when Newport was famous for fighting and everyone was
skipping about to Brit Pop (a lethal combination, Im sure youll agree)
Flyscreen were the big kids in the playground - harder, louder and angrier
than anyone else. Together with 60ft Dolls, Dub War and Novocaine they
created their own particular brand of post-grunge mayhem a punk-pop
cocktail of thrashing guitars with pithy, often witty songs about school,
football and shagging.

Naturally fame beckoned. Following the release of two exceptional mini-
albums Dap Bag and Council Pop Flyscreen were snapped up by the grande fromages at MCA/Universal, touring with the likes of Bush, No-Doubt, The Offspring, and Girls Against Boys, being tipped by the trendy haircuts in the music press and generally lording it about town.

It all imploded of course, like all good things rock and roll, but
thankfully the Newport punkerteers are back, with their first studio album
since Girls Cant Make Gun Noises in 1998. Produced by Richard Jackson (Super Furry Animals, McKlusky, and The Wedding Present) Only Dirty People Wash, is 26 minutes of downright filth. This album is the first to really capture Flyscreens raw energy, with 10 stonking tracks about drugs, disco and debauchery. From the romper stomping Popsong Singalong to the electro funking Disco Sick, Only Dirty
People Wash is possibly Flyscreens finest work to date.
