Bryan W. Fleming (Lasting Impression)

SPB: What is the worst stereotype you encounter when others discover you’re in a band?

Fleming: The worst stereotypes I think we encounter as a band is that people think we are some crazy, evil people or even just that we are assholes. Our music is meaningful to us and can be dark but we are still just three goofy, nice dudes who love what we do. We shake hands, we give hugs, and we love meeting every person who will talk to us. A lot of people think that we only listen to hardcore and punk too just because that is the type of band we play in. There are a lot of different answers, but definitely it seems most common that a book is often judged by its cover. Open it up and read a chapter before you write the book report.

Self Released (2012)

Hardcore really isn’t my thing. Still, every once and a while I like to break out of my comfort zone with something different. Lasting Impression, hailing from LaCrosse, WI, refer to themselves as “high energy hardcore.” There are a number of scenes or bands that could be name-dropped, but sticking with the basics as they do seems a solid approach. … Read more
