Today, alt-rock’s artful chameleon K.Flay (the stage name of Kristine Flaherty) drops her new EP ‘Inside Voices’ (via BMG), showcasing a perfectly executed amalgamation of mad genius intelligence, shape-shifting & biting sonics, and a primal roar of self-assertion.
“So often we keep everything bottled up,” said K.Flay about the EP. “Inside Voices was a way for me to exorcise some demons and safely express these uncomfortable but very human emotions I was feeling.”
The EP’s five tracks play out like a twisted funhouse of cathartic reckoning, whether it’s on first single “Four Letter Words” – birthed from a very real moment in her life (cue the first line “I drank a liter of tequila in my bedroom, it’s taking every ounce of power not to text you” — check out the dope video here), “My Name Isn’t Katherine” (a comical reference to her issue with constantly being misnamed), or on “Good Girl”, a co-writing collaboration with Dan Reynolds and an infectious punk-tinged singalong about reaching your breaking point when it comes to politeness. The EP also includes dynamite collabs with modern rock royalty Tom Morello on “TGIF” which Stereogum called “a nu-metal anthem with caustic riffs and great quips”, as well as Travis Barker on “Dating My Dad” which uses swooning vocals, warped guitars, and a solid percussive backbone to reflect on the ways we follow in our parents’ mistakes and how we’re sometimes drawn to those who are just as messed up as the people who raised us.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
