Flagship

Flagship was formed in the summer of 2002 by Linus Kåse & Christian Liljegren, both of Narnia fame. They both share the passion for symphonic rock in the vein of Kansas, Styx, Buggles, and Queen. They realized that very few bands today play this kind of progressive music where melody is the key thing. Lots of ideas came and soon they started to record some demos. They first named the band Windy City, after one of the song titles, but in 2004 it was changed to Flagship.
One of the goals for the band was to bring attention and highlight to this kind of music again. The thought was also to keep the band a duo, like the Buggles were in the late 70's and early 80's.
