The Fling is a band from Long Beach, CA consisting of Dustin Lovelis (guitars, vocals), Graham Lovelis (bass, vocals), Justin Roeland (guitars, keys, vocals), and Justin Ivey (drums). The band was formed in its initial phase by Dustin as a recording project. Soon after, Graham, his younger brother started to collaborate. An impromptu live gig was scheduled and Justin Ivey joined the group. Along with Justin came Joel Bond, their original guitar player, who left the band in early 2008. Scotty Cantino from Francisco The Man filled in until Justin Roeland was added to the lineup. The group draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of folk, rock, pop and psychedelic music. Their sound has been described as "classic ’60s pop, ’90s alternative, and contemporary indie-rock clashing fluidly to create a strangely nostalgic effect."
