Since 2002 this Western New York quartet has raised the musical bar with their Avant-Garde instrumentation, colorful vocal work, and a high energy live show. <br> <br> Phantasm deviates from the angst and teenage heartbreak that fills the airwaves, with sexuality and satire. Their raging riffs and swinging beats fuel their equally powerful messages of acceptance, open mindedness and adventure. <br> <br> With the help of a few catalytic fans, the boys of Phantasm built their own DIY promotional workhorse. Utilizing their talents, they've branched out of their hometown, gaining regional respect and dots of national attention along the way. <br> <br> Overall, the dynamic demented pop stylings of Phantasm refuse the chains of one genre. They are a band playing the music they want to hear, doing what they want to do, being who they want to be...unafraid to take chances, unafraid to go with or against the grain, depending on the moment. </p> <b>News from "Enter the Phantasm EP"</b> <br> <br> "Flashing Lights" has been commissioned for the soundtrack of "Hunting Camp", an independent film* <p> <b>"S.C.R.A.T.C.H.E.S." was chosen as the first track on the "Raise The Roof!"
