Database count: 7287 groups/artists, 6980 record titles, 2191 labels & 26378 song titles.

This is a database of more than 7000 reviews of US punk and hardcore records. If you can't find your favorite record, we'd be happy to add your review.

If you want to know what FLEX is all about, read the intro to the original (printed) book.

So - stay a while, have a look, drop me a line and send some reviews.

All the best Burkhard

Here you go - the FLEX website. In the early days of the web (around 1994…) there was an FTP version of the FLEX book - big, unhandy, hard to get. So imagine my delight when Knut Tore offered me some web space and his programming skills to create a real FLEX site. Thanx!!

This site is far from perfect. FLEX has always been a work in progress. I don't want to wait until everything is perfect before presenting it to the public (because chances are you will wait forever). My philosophy is, show the unfinished, let the public take part in the process.

New year, new decade, and a brand new version of FLEX! We have finally updated to the “Book 3” version of the database - you should see a LOT of improvement. Also, the site has been completely renovated - it is now a Wiki and much easier to maintain. Have fun!!!
