Attitude. Big sing along choruses. Catchy power-pop hooks. Pulsating rhythms. Pounding drums. "In your face" guitar riffs accompanied by a pop songwriting sensibility. Put it all together and you have Green Bay, Wisconsin's TAKEN FLIGHT! From the "tongue-in-cheek" humor about partying too hard, to the heartfelt messages about personal relationships & observing their surroundings, the bands lyrical content varies based upon what inspires them at that particular time. "The philosophy here is we're going to write about topics that people can relate to. Whether thats about relationships, partying too hard & making a fool of yourself or commentary about current affairs, it depends on what inspires us at that time", says frontman Jason Wisneski. From the catchy hooks on their recordings to the high energy & often humourous live perfomances that always include crowd interaction, Taken Flight has everything you want in a great rock band! Originally formed in the spring of 2008, the band has worked very hard over the past 3 years at getting the music heard via internet, radio & any other networking sources available. The band has also consistenly played shows with other up and coming local Wisconsin acts, as well as opened up for national acts such as Relient K, Ludo & We are Heroes. Most recently, the band finished recording its first full length album titled "Place Your Bets" (released in October 2010) which combines a batch of new songs with a few re-recorded versions of previous EP hits. The most notable new tracks are the irresisitable "Down Low", a tongue in cheek number about a sexual relationship kept "hush-hush" to avoid confrontation with an overprotective dad & the high energy, dance rocker "Bipolar". With a nose to the grindstone & an unconditional love & commitment to their music & to their fanbase, Taken Flight's future is looking up as one of the hottest up and coming rock bands in the country!
