This self-titled record is a testament to their evolution from the hard-hitting metal sounds of their main band, 10,000 Views.
Led by the dynamic singer/songwriter duo of Timmy Johnston and Johnny Hyatt, The Flying Hasslehoffs introduce a refreshing take on classic rock-inspired compositions. The quirky moniker may playfully nod to beachside antics, but the music delves into a realm of explosive guitars, high-energy performances, and a remarkable synergy between the vocal harmonies of Timmy and Johnny.

With lyrics like "Life is beautiful when you're alone with me," the song captures the sentiment of finding solace in the arms of loved ones amid the chaos of life on the road.
