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.

Fling Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She’s sweet like cherryade, she’s got diamonds in her eyes
Red hair down do her waist, she’s got me hypnotised
I’ll wait till the moments right and I’ll try to catch her eye
Sat here with a cigarette, she’s got me mystified

J’aimerais passer plus du temps avec toi?
Veux tou passer plus de temps avec moi?

She got me dreaming as a smoke away till the day turns into night
Wonder what I’d even say? She got me thinking twice.
C’mon baby let’s have some fun, let me take you for a ride
I’m a fool but maybe so are you, you got me mystified

J’aimerais passer plus du temps avec toi
Veux tou passer plus de temps avec moi
