A Fleeting Farewell

To the casual listener, it might seem as if music has lost all sense of permanence. Artists ambush the listener out of the woodwork with cheap thrills in the form of gimmick laden EPs, and, just as they develop a fanbase--poof--they vanish. However, in the face of today's transient, here today, gone tomorrow heavy music scene, A Fleeting Farewell are a band who have carved out their niche and are here to stay. Hooking the listener in with intense riffs, getting caught in their head with catchy choruses and steamrolling them with ten-ton breakdowns, A Fleeting Farewell are a young, energetic band that any fan of heavy music won't be able to say "goodbye" to. A Fleeting Farewell was formed by vocalist Josh Reed and guitarist Justin Caldwell in July of 2014. Instantly, they began writing their debut release, Forget Me Not, which even in spite of a tumultuous lineup and a rigorous circuit of shows throughout their local scene, was finally released across every digital outlet imaginable in May of 2015. The product of creative songwriting with a penchant for heaviness--and forged in the sweltering Tennessee heat, Forget Me Not is a ferocious metallic hardcore release that lunges at the listener with claws sharpened and fangs exposed. Spring also saw a solidified lineup for A Fleeting Farewell, with the addition of drummer Andrew Franklin as well as second guitarist Matt Bise. With a solid lineup, the band could deliver the product of a year of intense writing and recording to their thriving local scene. Serving as regional support for heavy music juggernauts The Bunny The Bear, Reckless Serenade, and He Is Legend--as well as several others--A Fleeting Farewell use their dedication and driving work ethic to entrance their audience with a captivating and fun display of no-holds-barred energy wherever they play. While a young band, A Fleeting Farewell make up for their lack of experience with abundant passion and dedication to all heavy music enthusiasts. With a boundlessly bouncy and endlessly energetic sound and live performance to match, make no mistake, you'll be saying hello to A Fleeting Farewell in no time. We're a heavy(ish) band out of Kingsport, TN.
