Kansas City band Flooding releases their latest EP, object 1.  

Flooding is fronted by Rose Brown (vocals/guitar/songwriter) with Cole Billings (bass) and Zach Cunningham (drums). On object 1, the trio embraces the duality of hard and soft.

object 1 shapeshifts track to track, infusing fragments of slowcore, noise rock, post-hardcore and post-punk into a sound that’s pure Flooding. object 1 is a controlled chaos fueled by heavy guitars, relentless drums, and otherworldly vocals. 

object 1 is full of the most melody-forward, pop-structured songs we’ve ever created. It’s fun and kind of ironic to write incredibly dissonant songs within the framework of pop music. Thinking about music like we’re pop stars and considering how it might feel to perform the songs on stage has moved our sound forward in a more energetic, impactful direction that I don’t see done much in the genres we explore.”
