FLIGHT

In a world where expensive cars, drinks, and clothing dominate lyrics and music videos, FLIGHT is a refreshing change toward reality. Their independently released debut, “The New Brand in Rock”, contains singles that combine New York City’s edge with radio-friendly hooks. Opting for topics that challenge the inescapable faux glamour life, they realize that finding oneself is much more difficult than wearing a blanket of tattoos. Their hope is to replace the anger and jealousy present in alternative pop with fun, and to have people re-evaluate their lives while kicking with a smile in a mosh pit. That’s quite a task for a band of the media generation.
FLIGHT’s first release, “I Want You (to be real)” blatantly attacks the materialism regarded by modern society as success. As he searches for someone ‘real’, he expresses his disinterest in name brands, BMW’s and implants. The song has a power punk feel with seamless, changing tempos, 3-part harmonies, and a hooking chorus. “We felt our first release should be simple and direct to make a point to pop culture while speaking their language.”
“In creating this compilation, we had the luxury of having no deadlines - simply to record a song whenever we had an idea. I’m glad we took our time with this project. Too often, bands have to meet strict record company deadlines, forcing them to take one decent idea and fill in the gaps with fluff. When writing the music, we often dismantled several ‘decent’ rhythms and melodies from our songs, and pasted the best pieces together to form one solid song. We’ve had so many people supporting our music over the years, we hope people have fun with it and use it to change their lives for the better.” # # #
