New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Toronto Canada's The Flatliners are debuting a new music video for "Indoors" on the Rise Records Youtube channel. Frontman Chris Cresswell says, "'Indoors' comes from a place of deep winter isolation and serious reflection - with the help of some burning paper and that familiar smell. Nights like that, that can really help take you to where you want to be once the snow melts."
He adds, "So now that it's summertime when you're out with your friends burning the candle at both ends, enjoy it, cause the snow's gonna fall before you know it. This one's for all those karaoke kings and queens out there, singing along like no one's watching."
The band kicks off a west coast tour with The Smith Street Band, leading up to their appearance at It's Not Dead Festival later this month in San Bernardino, CA.They are also set to make appearances at Riot Fest and The Fest 16 this fall.
The Flatliners' latest LP, 'Inviting Light', is out now on Rise Records.

About The Flatliners:
The Flatliners came out swinging with youthful exuberance on their debut record, Destroy To Create, in 2005, and they've honed their anthemic style with each subsequent release: The Great Awake in 2007, Cavalcade in 2010, Dead Language in 2013 and Division of Spoils in 2015.
But frenetic touring schedules and prolific recording output takes its toll, and The Flatliners decided to spend the majority of 2015 off the road to recharge and reconnect with friends and family. Striking a balance between home and road life is a difficult task, but frontman and guitarist Chris Cresswell concedes that it's necessary.
"That's what we've been in search of for probably the last seven years. We noticed it in ourselves, and that's what we're really striving for now," he says. "We have a lot of people in our lives that are super supportive of what we do, and we're supportive of each other."
The band may have opted for more downtime, but there was still plenty going on behind the scenes. Early in 2015, the guys found themselves without the familiarity of the jam space they had inhabited for nearly a decade—four walls that had been the incubator for hundreds of songs and uninhibited creativity. Several months were spent renting rooms wherever they were available before the band was able to settle into a new space, but the group did their best not to let the upheaval hinder their burgeoning roster of new material. Borne out of that chaos was Nerves, a two-song EP released in October 2016 that also marked the band's first recording on Dine Alone Records.
The recording served as a taste of what eager fans can expect to hear on The Flatliners' new album, Inviting Light, set to be released on April 7, 2017. The band has been working hard to refine its unmistakable style, ensuring they don't lose sight of their roots while continuing to move forward.
The Flatliners continue to build on the enduring connection that brought them together all those years ago, celebrating one another's personal milestones and weathering each new experience as a unit.
"It feels like we're onto something," Cresswell adds. "It's exciting for a band to be 15 years into their existence and have this. It's a refreshing thing."
