Through a combination of a passion and love for music, Fliptop begun and has grown since its beginning in mid 2010. It started with Tim and Brett playing as an acoustic guitar/drum duo, but they quickly realised they needed the skills of a bassist or another guitarist to fill out their sound. Seemingly as if he was called by a higher being, up popped Ewan Austin. Starting as a jam band playing covers, they begun to dabble in original songs, writing material with heavy influences from an eclectic mix of artists such as John Mayer, John Butler Trio, the Kooks and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
