Sidewalk Surfin’ USA: Jimmy Flame Rides a Burning Wave

Jimmy Flame, hailing from Maryland, USA, is set to ignite the hearts, skateboards, and earbuds with his latest single, "Sidewalk Surfin’ USA." This track is a vibrant tease from his upcoming LP, "Denim Grooves."



In the world of Jimmy Flame, it's a one-man show, and what a show it is! Drums, bass, guitar, vocals—all Jimmy Flame. This single is a testament to his musical dexterity and a harbinger of the rollicking good time that awaits in "Denim Grooves."


Imagine the result of a secret musical experiment fusing the DNA of the Beach Boys, the Dwarves, the Ramones, AC/DC, Green Day, and Chuck Berry—the buff twin born out of the lab from the movie "Twins" is the rock n roll behemoth that is "Sidewalk Surfin’ USA."


"Sidewalk surfin' USA, we're gonna' carve up the streets today!" The battle cry for a carefree rebellion, where the only verdict is "skate or die." The lyrics embody the spirit of uninhibited fun, urging you to hit the scene and turn up the radio for a round of sidewalk surfin'.


James Franklin Thomas, IV is legacy. Jimmy Flame, a second-generation musician, inherits his flame from his father, James the Flame, who pushed Jimmy early to learn drums, guitar, and bass. His musical journey has traversed from Baltimore, Maryland, to Seattle, Washington, and back, leaving a trail of molten charisma and inspiration. The flame extends from the stage to the wrestling ring, where an "ass-pocket full of rock n roll" might just be traded for a steel chair or a headlock.


Obviously Jimmy is charismatic and charisma, more often than not, translates to fun. Is this track fun? Dear lord...this track isn't just "fun"; it's FUN!!!!!! With exclamation points in caps lock! It radiates the infectious energy that Jimmy Flame brings to every stage. "Sidewalk Surfin’ USA" is a Molotov cocktail of charisma and sonic waves that demand to be cranked up.


Where does this take us? The single is tight, well-recorded, and exudes energy, but one can't help but anticipate the explosive impact with a full band backing Jimmy Flame. Witnessing the live energy that courses through him, it's easy to imagine the heightened power and resonance that will accompany a live rendition of this track.
