Introduction
Classic street punk with abrasive vocals and gritty riffs. One of Beijing’s most prolific, dedicated and hardest working bands—lead guitarist Cao Shuai plays double duty with fellow punks Cold Case, while singer Luo Pan held his wedding party at D-22 this past April—the quartet is known to incorporate the occasional Anti Flag cover, as well as the crowd, into their jet-propelled sets. - We Live in Beijing
History
Luo and Yu were friends and formed the band a year ago with Xu in 2008, who they found through an online ad for a bass player. They were friends with Cao, who used to play lead guitar in Cold Case, another punk band they are friends with. This line-up with Luo, Cao, Xu and Yu has been playing together since April 2009.
The name FLYX stands for the first letter of their initials. Luo, Yu, and Xu. Feng, who was the “F”, has since left the band for personal reasons.
They claim Anti-Flag as their main influence, both in terms of their sound and ideology.
