Formed by Craig Costello, Nord Idessane and Nick Tolley in 2003, when BBC Radio broadcast a live session of the band in 2004, then 'Evening Session' DJ Vic Galloway described it as "One of the most popular sessions that we have put out." When Martin Bate of Capital Radio central Scotland station, Beat 106, played 'Tumshie' off the album <a href="spotify:album:2bMcJ2BUwrj7U33eWI48Kg" data-name="Blue Lips, Cold Kiss">Blue Lips, Cold Kiss</a>, its initial play attracted such a huge audience response that it became an instant contender for the shows "Most Requested Playlist." Big Cheese magazine called them one of the UK's well kept secrets.
Across mainland Europe large sections of the rock press including German monthly, Metal Heart, gave the band glowing reviews. Since then the album became something of a rock underground secret. In UK rock monthly Rock Sound Magazine, Robert Adams described it as “One of the finest début albums I have heard for a very long time.” Terrorizer Magazine - "A breath of fresh air to the UK scene." "A well-crafted, cleverly constructed album” and at XFM, Ian Camfield said of “Blue Lips Cold Kiss”, “This is a very impressive début album.”
After a number of lineup changes and a hiatus spanning over a decade, Battalion Of Flies reformed in 2019 and immediately began writing new material. The subsequent EP "In Dark Meadows... Chaos Reigns" will be released on 26th February, 2021
Battalion of Flies are currently:
Craig Costello - Lead Guitar, Vocals | Tony Noble - Bass | CK Gillon - Drums, Vocals
