Welcoming Home the Astronauts

Welcoming Home the Astronauts is Flickerstick's first album. It was originally released in 2001 on 226 Records (The Best Album we've probably never heard), but after the band won VH1's Bands on the Run, Flickerstick was signed by Sony and the album was released by Epic. The Epic release featured the bonus track "Execution by Christmas Lights".

The re-release of the album by Sony/Epic also featured a number of musical changes to the songs as well as the removal of the song "Right Way to Fly" and adding "Smile" and "Execution by Christmas Lights".
