After breaking up the industrial-rock group
Submachine, frontman Nik Hodges went onto form his second hyper-driven rock piece, Flak. He brought in former
Submachine drummer
Steve Clark and guitarist
Chris Sutton along with newcomer Rich Crockford to play bass in hopes of creating a mixture sounds similar to
Nine Inch Nails,
Crystal Method, and
Pop Will Eat Itself. Flak released its self-titled debut on Restless Records in mid-2000. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
