About

Hailing from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, The Casper Fight Scene showcases the signature loud guitars, catchy hooks, and heartfelt lyrics of emo, all infused with their own unique flair. Frontman Jason Swallow’s lyrics delve into themes of past regrets and a tangible fear of stagnation, while still offering a glimmer of hope for the future and a desire for change. From the raw, cathartic energy of “Cadillac Death Trap” to the somber reflections in “Geezer,” their emotional range is both direct and vulnerable. This honest exploration of uncomfortable truths and past mistakes makes The Casper Fight Scene both relatable and endearing. With soaring leads and epic solos from guitarist Kenny Quick, alongside the solid rhythm section of drummer Michael McGaffigan and bassist Peter Hart, they are a dangerously charismatic band on the verge of becoming the next Midwest emo sensation.
