The band consists of Charles McSorley (lead vocals), Jack Winn (guitar, vocals), Jake Lees (bass, vocals), Billy Fielding (drums, backing vocals), and Sam Malynowsky (keyboards), all good friends for years. Asked about their inspirations, Fling's frontman McSorley answers "I think we all share the love of the classics, pretty much any Beatles, The Clash, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Kinks, Oasis and other such artists’ albums constantly inspire us and will do forever I think. Just all the good stuff basically."
So far, Fling are something of a British pearl sprawling onto the musical scene, with continuous local gigs around Bradford, festival appearances and 6 (as of March 4th, 2018) singles available via streaming devices. Their latest track, "Banjo Billy", debuted worldwide on March 2nd, 2018.

The song "Banjo Billy" by Fling is an ode to a musically talented child, Banjo, who is always having fun by plucking strings all day. The lyrics describe how he is accompanied by Billy, who sings a little song to his music. Banjo's music is so infectious that everyone enjoys it, and people come from miles around to hear his famous "boo ba bo du ba boh." The chorus repeats the name "Banjo Billy," emphasizing the two children's bond and talent. The bridge section of the song features an interesting lyrical twist, wherein the singer sees Banjo on the ceiling, and Billy is underneath everyone. It could be a random passing thought or a metaphorical commentary on how music can transcend borders and exist everywhere.
