Brass Phantoms

Brass Phantoms are a Seattle-based indie rock quartet known for blending moody post-punk energy with darkwave textures and introspective lyricism. Formed in 2018, the band features Dylan Hayes (vocals/guitar), Sierra Frost (bass), Leo Vance (drums), and Morgan Lee (keyboards), serving up brooding anthems like “Holding Out for Horrors” and “City of Wolves” that feel equally at home in dive bars and dimly lit dancefloors. Their music often explores themes of existential dread and urban isolation, delivered through Hayes’ haunting vocals and the group’s signature interplay of driving basslines, shimmering synths, and angular guitar work.

With a reputation for intense live shows dripping with atmospheric tension, Brass Phantoms have carved out a niche in the Pacific Northwest’s alternative scene. Recent releases like “Hurricane” and “What We Leave Behind Us” showcase their evolution toward tighter songcraft while maintaining their signature shadowy aesthetic. They’ve shared stages with acts like Soft Kill and The Murder Capital, cementing their status as purveyors of rainy-day catharsis for fans of gloomy yet danceable rock.
