WHAT IT IS: At first glance, British trio Flawes are a classic pop band with a slick, uplifting sound, but beneath the surface there’s captivating subtlety and nuance. With cowriting credits from FINNEAS and production by Lostboy, Flawes have collected 12m+ global career streams and 1.5m+ YouTube views. The band—Josh “JC” Carruthers, guitarist Freddie Edwards and drummer Josh “Huss” Hussey—also launched their own podcast series featuring guests from bands like Muse, Bastille and The Wombats.
