Originally known as The Rebs, and then The In-Sect, the group's line-up featured Robin Hunt (lead vocals, drums), Ian Baldwin (bass guitar), George Haywood (lead guitar), Brian Gill (lead guitar) John Da Costa (rhythm guitar, keyboards), and Peter Dunton (drums). They were notorious for their sometimes outrageous live performances, particularly their appearance at the 14-Hour Technicolour Dream psychedelic festival in April 1967 in London, where they arranged to have hundreds of bags of flour explode and cover the audience at the end of their set. While they disbanded by the end of 1968, members surfaced in the subsequent British psychedelic/progressive groups Infinity, Please, Bulldog Breed, and T2. In addition, while still in The Flies, singer Robin Hunt recorded a 1967 single for CBS under the pseudonym Alexander Bell. 2) The Flies was a British band fronted by Sean Cook (ex-Spiritualized; ex-Lupine Howl).

The band's debut album "All Too Human" was released in 2007. 3) The Flies was an 80s American band from Boston that consisted of Nat Freedberg (lead vocal, guitar), Jay Parham (bass, vocals) and Randall Gibson (drums).
