BIG STIR RECORDS brings you a brand new single from THE FLASHCUBES, and it's a sign of very big things to come from the long-running, NY State-based Power Pop Hall Of Famers. “Forget About You”, a cover of the late '70s underground guitar pop classic by the 'Cubes' British contemporaries THE MOTORS, is out July 21 and up for pre-order/presave now (https://orcd.co/flashcubes-forget), streaming everywhere on the street date and hitting global radio now. It'll be accompanied by a special career-spanning video, and it serves as an announcement that the album fans have been demanding from THE FLASHCUBES for years is about to materialize at last.

It has been a banner trio of years for THE FLASHCUBES, and they've seen the band rising to their highest profile since their earliest days and the classic 1978 single “Christi Girl”. The band, still rocking with their original lineup of guitarists Paul Armstrong and Arty Lenin, bassist Gary Frenay, and drummer Tommy Allen, has taken the global pop-rock radio scene by storm with a unique and beloved series of eight new singles, released throughout 2021 and 2022, which have seen them joining forces with their artistic peers (and more than a few primary influences) to cover the songs they love. The series has featured THE FLASHCUBES in collaboration with key players from fellow Power Pop Hall Of Famers SHOES, PEZBAND, and THE SPONGETONES as well as the likes of PILOT's David Paton, THE PALEY BROTHERS and former NEW YORK DOLL Steve Conte, with steady support from RANDY KLAWON of The Choir and Cyrus Erie. Throughout it all – and especially since this May's announcement that the band, along with The Spongetones, has joined official Big Stir Records Artist Roster – fans have consistently asked after, and at times rightfully demanded, a full-length album collecting the singles.

That announcement is just around the corner, and there's no better way to herald it than with another rip-roaring FLASHCUBES single... after all, pitch-perfect pop songs are short and sweet, and eight of them won't fill a disc. And so for their ninth (!) preview single, THE FLASHCUBES in all their four-piece glory tackle the 1978 track “Forget About You” by British guitar-pop heroes THE MOTORS. It fits the band like a glove, and we daresay it's got a bit more edge than Leif Garrett's version (compare if you dare). The video, premiering Thursday in advance of the single's release, does a handy job of bringing fans old and new up to date on THE FLASHCUBES' career... watch this space for premiere news!

With the new single motoring out of the gate, fans can collect or playlist the Pop Masters Singles Series to their hearts' content, but there's still more to come. Early listeners to the new album, like Carl Cafarelli of This Is Rock 'N' Roll Radio, are already calling it a lock for one of the year's best power pop (or indeed rock and roll) albums, and we can only agree. For now, rev up this Motors classic delivered in vintage Flashcubes style, and consider marking August 11 on your calendar... you've got a date with some true Pop Masters.
