Flinch

Flinch was an early 90's British indie rock band consisting of Grog Prebble (Vocals, Bass), Paul Smith (Guitar) and Dominic Luckman (Drums). Flinch, attracted press interest as one of the UK's most promising bands of in 1994, following the release of their 1993 debut EP A Dummy to Love and winning Best New Act at that years In The City showcase. Two independent singles ("Ordinary (This Can't Be)", "Faking") on Dilo!, an offshoot of the Vinyl Solution record label, led to Flinch recording a live session in Maida Vale Studios for BBC Radio 1's John Peel at the end of 1994. Flinch submitted the demo for "Days" for inclusion on the cult Volume 12 compilation magazine, alongside notable debut cuts from acts such as Garbage and Catatonia. In 1995, Flinch released a further two singles, "Jamie D" and "Skin Deep", and recorded demos for their debut full-length release, provisionally titled Sincere. Flinch played a set at the Reading Festival which was broadcast live on Radio One. Before releasing their first album, Flinch disbanded due to what was described later as a lack of commitment and direction.

Peel played the band's debut single in 1993 and would play further material from the group, including a session they recorded in 1994 for his radio programme. After the group disbanded, Peel did not keep his interest in Grog Prebble's new band, Feline, and never played any of their records.
