With talent like this, Bad Flamingo definitely does not have any ‘Shame’ going toe-to-toe with any artist out there.”
“This Comedic Punk track starts out sounding a bit like the Phineas and Ferb theme song and it is delivered a bit tongue in cheek. That said the social commentary is very real and on point. Fox Robinson has fun but still manages to say something and if that isn’t Punk I don’t know what is.”

’Phantasmagoria’ is a broad collection of ruminations on the overall state of the world in the year 2025. As we try to navigate our roles and responsibilities during a time of rapid, volatile change, we become beaten down and desensitized to the massive scale of suffering taking place on this shared, warming planet. People are lonely, fatigued and scared. We grapple each day with chronic doom-scrolling and feelings of inadequacy and helplessness, watching the world burn from our phones, while the ultra-wealthy amass seemingly infinite capital, while the poor become poorer and the powers-that-be continue to decimate the planet. It’s an anthem for the apocalypse.
... that summaray says more than I ever could. This is a song to hear and feel, and likely you’ll ponder the lines long after the song has faded from your speakers.”
