Info for Pink Flamingo

"Pink Flamingo“ is Kids In Glass Houses’ grand return. Channelling the excitement of their debut with the ambition of what came next, the album has the foundations of what came before, but takes it to new heights.

“We were always a bit scared to lean into the more outlandish stuff before but on this one, if it felt good, we did it,” explains Aled. It means the record feels more dynamic and daring than anything that has come before, but there’s also a sincerity to it. “There was just so much joy and confidence in what we were making,” Aled continues. “We got back in touch with why we started the band in the first place, which is that we just love making music together.”

Rather than overthink the legacy of the band and how to evolve that, the band trusted in one another. “We learnt to be comfortable that anything we wrote together was a Kids In Glass Houses song,” says frontman Aled Phillips. The band were also more open with one another.,with that honesty providing nothing but inspiration. “We've all grown as individuals and a collective,” he says.” There was just this real sense of freedom to ‘Pink Flamingo’.

Ultimately, ‘Pink Flamingo’ sees Kids In Glass Houses embracing their past, but refusing to be defined by it. “We’ve stolen from across our own back catalogue and used that to form this new vision of Kids In Glass Houses,” says Aled. “There have been some near misses in the past and we wanted to right some wrongs,” he adds. “But a new album never felt like a risk. None of us would be doing this if we didn’t believe it was amazing and worthwhile.”

Kids In Glass Houses

Kids In Glass Houses
are a Welsh rock band from Cardiff. The band's name is inspired by the lyrics "not throwing stones at you anymore" from Glassjaw song "Tip Your Bartender". The band achieved success on the strength of the singles "Give Me What I Want" and "Saturday" off their debut album Smart Casual in 2008. The band released their second album Dirt in early 2010, releasing four singles; most notably "Matters at All". The band's third album, In Gold Blood, was released on 15 August 2011.

The quintet had a series of support slots during late 2006 and early 2007, playing alongside Lostprophets, 30 Seconds to Mars, Hundred Reasons, Manic Street Preachers and The Goo Goo Dolls. In the band's early stages, they also shared the stage with the likes of Funeral for a Friend and The Used on the Taste of Chaos 2005 UK tour in Cardiff. They released their debut full-length EP E-Pocalypse! on 9 October 2006.

During their time as an unsigned band, the band garnered a rare and unprecedented amount of press and support from rock media, including Kerrang! and NME as well as BBC Radio 1 and XFM. In a television interview Lostprophets vocalist Ian Watkins claimed that "relatively unknown bands such as Kids in Glass Houses are a lot better than a lot of known bands out there."

In August 2007, the band were nominated for Best British Newcomer at the Kerrang! Awards, where the group were beaten to the award by Gallows. Despite Kids in Glass Houses' disappointment at not winning, fellow countrymen Lostprophets brought the band up on stage with them to claim their own award. During the run up to the awards, Kids in Glass Houses played a special show, titled The Day Of Rock, inside Zavvi on Oxford Street, London, alongside Enter Shikari, Fightstar, The Answer and Turisas.

During October 2007, the band completed a 16 date headline tour of the UK supported by London's Tonight Is Goodbye (now Futures) and friends of the bands rotating on the tour - Saidmike (now Straight Lines) and The New 1920. Following that they supported fellow Welshmen Funeral for a Friend, on their December 2007 UK tour.

This album contains no booklet.
