Flint - Device #1 (2003)

Flint was a punk rock band created by Keith Flint of The Prodigy, consisting of Flint on lead vocals, Jim Davies (formerly of Pitchshifter) on guitar, Rob Holliday on bass, and Kieron Pepper & Tony Howlett on drums. The band performed several gigs, their first being a brief set at the inaugural Download Festival in June 2003, and they released their debut single 'Asteroids' on 19 May 2003, as a pink, limited edition 10" vinyl single. The second single ,'Aim 4', was released on 14 July 2003, with a video directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who also directed the promo for The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up'. Following the release of 'Aim 4', the band planned to release their debut album 'Device #1' on 28 July 2003, but the release was pulled by the label, and shortly after its cancellation the band decided to split up. Flint then went on to form a project titled Clever Brains Fryin', while Davies put together Victory Pill. The album was originally planned to contain 13 punk-rock tracks, and a promo disc did slip out in a limited edition in the UK, but is now nigh on impossible to find, so here is that promo, with the b-side of the 'Aim 4' single tagged onto the end. The track 'NNNN (No Name No Number)' was later revisited and remixed by Flint's The Prodigy band-mate Liam Howlett into the Prodigy track 'Baby's Got A Temper', released in 2002, and 'Razor' appeared on 'The Prodigy - Their Law - The Singles 1990-2005' under the same name, although slightly re-edited.
