Flint · Device #1 · 21st anniversary

On July 28, 2003, the release of Flint‘s debut LP titled Device #1 was scheduled. It was meant to come out on their own label, Cool Kills. However, the official premiere never took place as the band members and/or their record label deemed the album wasn’t finished properly. Today, in honor of the album’s 21st anniversary, we will delve into its story and, as always, spice it up with exclusive details straight from the All Souvenirs team! This is the most comprehensive story of the Flint band that has ever appeared online.

Since the early 2000, Liam Howlett had been promising to release Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned LP. However, with each passing month, the process was increasingly delayed, leading The Prodigy members to eventually pursue their solo projects. Maxim started creating his own hip-hop album, while Leeroy decided to part ways with the band. As for Keith, seeking to fill the excess of free time, he took up learning the guitar, formed his own band, and joyfully played rock music with his long-time friends…

Chris Davison: It’s been fun going through the archive drives over the past couple days digging out little beauty’s like this multi media shot for the Flint project, an amazing time given complete free reign to create shots using everything from sticky tape too torn pieces of quink drenched material. This shot we did on 12th May 2003 for a Metal Hammer feature which was also Julie’s birthday. When Keith found out I was working on her birthday he profusely apologised and the next day a courier knocked at our door with a big bunch of flowers and a pair of limited edition Adidas trainers which Julie still treasures. People like Keith are few and far between in the music industry which makes it all the more sader that he’s no longer with us. Really miss those days but feel honoured I was given the opportunity to work and hang out with such a kind soul on many occasions.
