Band Spotlight: The Fleeting Ends

Happy Tuesday All!

This week’s Band Spotlight is on an Upper Darby band, The Fleeting Ends! These guys are incredible and have been making a whole lot of noise recently. They’ve played live on Radio 104.5, NBC 10 and WMMR! If the radio likes them, they must be the next big thing, right?

I was introduced to the band through their front man, Matt Vantine. He’s a guy who has tons of charisma and even more talent. When I heard him perform solo and acoustic, I knew that anything he touched would turn to gold. I am a huge fan, so give these guys some support and pick up their newest release on iTunes!

The band sums up The Fleeting Ends experience best themselves on their website: Take the Rolling Stones swagger, the rawness of The Strokes, the melody of The Beatles and pour it through a funnel of The Clash and strain it with Wire and you have The Fleeting Ends.
