Flaw was a Nu Metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. However, despite their genre, their sound contained a diversity that went beyond the boundaries of their Nu Metal classification.
Flaw has quite a different style compared to that heard within the sound of other Nu Metal bands.
Flaw's guitar work is intricate; it flows with the song, yet isn't so simplistic that it follows the drums. Their bass lines have major funk influence, but not to the point of it becoming fusion. Flaw also totes the typical funk-influenced drumlines; Metal-esque but not basic in their nature or sound. Chris Volz' voice also lent itself to the style of the band's sound, with a seemingly unusual rise and fall that incorporated melodic harmonies and screams of rage.

I do have to say for being a Nu Metal band they werent bad. Though I dont listen to them anymore, I just cant stand Nu Metal anymore, it's gotten too annoying for my ears. But they were definitely one of the better acts.
In reply to hayato1333, #2: Yes, Flaw have diffrent variation drifting off the 'Nu' so perhaps thats why... personally Flaw is one of my inspirations to why i play the Bass Guitar.. i just love thier music and rifts
Endangered species wasn't near as good as through the eye's. Still can't get enough of Amendment, Scheme, What I have to do and Best I am. Payback was overplayed
Eh don't feel left out. They NEVER play flaw where I'm at...to tell you the truth they don't play anything good down here in FL it's all either rap or that emo pop rock bullshit. It's acctualy a miracle if you hear the likes of metallica or even rarer to hear pantera or anything talented!
Yeah...well in Australia...they never play Metallica, Pantera... i think i've heard... SlipKnot once... (Wait and Bleed) umm... Mostly Alternative Rock, Rock and Pop - such as Rob Thomas, Nirvana, Evanesence, Rolling Stones, Jet, Powderfinger, Coldplay, Lifehouse, Creed... but thats only on the station i listen too
on others its like - J Lo, Hillary Duff, 2 Pac, Shaggy, Nelly... and all this other shit!
Yea kinda the same shit here only with taking back sunday and fall out boy and shit like that...Gay I know. I'm so sorry they play rob thomas and jet there. You have my sympathy. Down here they acctualy banned them (Well at least the dj's did) from going on air because they suck that bad.....Still can't figure out why they have taking back sunday and shit still on there.
They Play Jet because its Australian...and Rob Thomas is ok...well i only like one of his songs...but thats the one with Santana... and they play that ALL the time
That song acctualy was pretty good but only till the 5th time they played it within the same damn day. I was mostly paying attention to santana on that song anyways. Took me till like the 3rd time to realize it was Rob.
They were acctualy but I guess there was something to do with the booking or contract licensing or something like that. I saw them when they were on ozzfest I think it was. Hung out with them while they were walkin around killin time before they went onstage. I can't remember the drummer's name right now...But he's one crazy mofo....and damn does he love boobies....kinda like me ^_^
