Thank you to our friends at Electrik Press for this lovely review: "The opening track of “Flashlight Radio” builds from an atmospheric
country intro into a driving climax that pulls the listener into a
world of northern skies and moonlight. ‘Let it Go’ comes in soft and
strong in it’s lyrical content highlighting the song’s introspection
and the band’s intricate harmonies that are most apparent in the
chorus. ‘Black and White’ and ‘Constellations’ are both similar in form
as the instrumentation swells toward their dramatic conclusions. The
energetic ‘Leaving’ followed by ‘Avoiding You’ are breaths of fresh air
to the EP, as they break from the shared tempo of the prior songs.
Wilde’s airy voice compliments Flashlight Radio’s urban country
sensibility helping to create a thoughtful, heart-felt collection of
songs from start." -J. Marton http://www.electrikpress.com/reviews.html

The summer is done and what a summer it was! Suzy and I want to thank everybody for making the summer what it was. We played some great shows and discovered some cool people and places!
We had our cd release party at the Rivoli on the 27th of August and it was a great night, full house and tons of good vibes. What more can you ask!
If you want to purchase our cd you can go to Sonic Boom or Soundscapes in Toronto. It will be available on Itunes and other online retailers in about a month so check back for updates on that. If you need it right now you can go to the store section of www.kenwhiteley.com and buy it there.
As you might see we have no fall dates booked as of yet. Suzy is going off on a European adventure for a few months and Ben is finishing up a university degree but come November there will shows booked!
Check back for more updates!
Keep’n on Truck’n!

themselves Flashlight Radio. They joined Mary to talk about the
challenges of creating their own sound as they prepare to release their
first CD.
