    missFlag have been compared to Coldplay by the likes of the L A Times as well as Snow Patrol

    missFlag's debut album is available (edit to come)

    So my first questions to missFlag is how would you define your sound and who are your biggest influences?

    I'd define our music is Alternative-Indie- ROCK, but to be honest I'aint a big fan of using those genre definitions.

    Our sound is a mix of who we are as musicians and our different musical backgrounds - some of us came from Jazz and Classical backgrouds, and others are pure rock orientated.

    The rage of our influences is so big and diverse that it's gonna be a bit hard to sum it up, but I'll try.
    I think that Coldplay made a huge impact on our sound, they're just so simple, unique and sonically brilliant that in todays indie-rock scene it'd be extremely hard to ingrone them, even if you try - and we don't.

    But as I said, our musical range is big from Radiohead, Muse, Snow Patrol, The Killers, John Mayer, U2 to J.S Bach.

    I agree I don't like to pigeon hole into genre definitions - a band can cover many different genres which I would say given the five members different backgrounds missFlag are well capable of adaptability.

    Talking of missFlag where did the name come from Assa? Or to put it another way why the name missFlag?

    Also as English is not the bands first language do you find this makes writing songs in English a little harder than it would if it was your mother tongue?

    Well, it's a kinda weird story..

    Our drummer (Assaf) came to us one day and said he had a weacked dream, that we were playing infront of a HUGE crowed, and our name was "missFlag".

    None of us ever heard that word of combination before, and we all thought its rather mystical to name our self by a word taken from a dream.
    Each one us has different interpretations to the name, some look at it as "Lady(mis) Flag" some as a missing Flag... and we heard many more bizzare interpretations from fans and friends.


    Regading the language, Ohad- the lead singer was actually born in NYC, NY, and our keys player Gil, is also origianlly american, they both are the main songwriters, therefore it's very natural for them to write in English.
    The English language is also a tool for us, same as the reason you choose to use guitar, piano or a viloin in a song, we chose English cause of its great sound, and the actuall pronunciation of the words which can some what softer than hebrew.

    The rest of us our pure Israelies, myself as well ofcourse.

    Wow Assa that is amazing. That missFlag's name came from a dream I mean.

    Some important events in history have had dreams connected to them. The Story that most springs to mind to me is the story of Joseph and Pharaoh. That is Joseph the father of Manasseh and Ephraim.

    It will be interesting to see when Assaf is on stage and has the realisation he is in those dream moments for real as I know this has happened to me RE Dreams and it is an amazing experience.

    When Assaf relives that dream moment I hope he will come and tell us about it here on TV Worlds Assa as I for one would very much like to hear about it.

    It amazing how many non English bands use English as a tool in music. It somehow seems to have become the preferred language for many when it comes to music.

    Very handy Ohad and Gil speak English .

    I read that you did a tour in the US and had many favourable comments made about missFlag. What would you say were the highlights of the tour and what plans do missFlag have for further gigs outside of Israel?
