A Vancouver band, that was signed to Nikki Sixx's ill fated Americoma label. You can download there video and some tunes from this site.

They got booted off the Motley/Scorpions tour after the singer slammed Klaus Meine. You can read all about it here. It's pretty funny.

Here's a review

FLASH BASTARD
Bastard Radio
Longshot
? "No, rock and roll ain?t gonna save your life, but when the beat?s inside, you can cut it out and come alive tonight."

Sometimes there is nothing more refreshing than a straight-up, unapologetic rawk album. Vancouver?s Flash Bastard combine hot licks with tight leather posturing for a balls-out collection of hooks and harmonies. Nothing new here ? Bastard Radio is content recalling ?70s punk and ?80s power pop ? but Donal Finn?s cries of "Yeah," "Baby" and "Oooh" don?t rely on originality, they rely on recognition. You could complain about the predictable solos, mid-song kick-and-snare drum breakdowns and snotty backing vocals, but you would be missing the point. Maybe you?d rather listen to your Joan Jett records, but so would Flash Bastard.

I can't find any release though on the Longshots Records sight although it has a bit of info about the band. These guys never were always kinda mysterious as far finding out what they were up to.
