History

The band is a combination of two earlier Charlotte acts: Campbell the Band and Margolnick's solo work. [1] In late 2011, the band signed to Bright Antenna Records. [2] They left Bright Antenna at some point between the release of The Ladder EP in April 2018 and the self-released Faces on the Wall in September 2024.

The band toured with The Wombats in spring 2012. Reviewers noted the band's "power and emotion," coupled with their songs' "dreamlike quality." [3]

On May 8, 2012 the band released their debut EP entitled blackbush available on iTunes and as a physical CD available at shows. [4]

Flagship's self-titled debut album was released on October 8, 2013. The first song off the new album "Are You Calling" was premiered in a lyric video on the website Metrolyrics on July 12, 2013. [5]
