The flying cruisers

The Flying Cruisers is a band with a distinctive sound, which blurs the lines between heavy alternative rock and other styles. In fact, the group’s music blurs the lines between a wide range of influences, while still retaining a direct and decisive sound with teeth and sharp claws. From the immediacy of blues-rock, to the melodic appeal of some of the best old-school hard rock, anything goes. The band strikes for its cohesive sound, and the music stands out due to the fact that the performance feels human and warm, as opposed to an overproduced studio concoction.
