Fly Dying is an American rock band from Norman, Oklahoma, known for blending elements of alternative rock, post-hardcore and indie rock. Formed in the mid-1990s, the group became part of the regional underground scene, developing a sound characterized by urgent, dynamic guitar work, emotive vocals and a balance of melodic hooks with heavier, dissonant passages. Their recordings and live performances emphasized raw energy and concise songwriting, reflecting DIY and independent-rock sensibilities common to that period. Fly Dying is recognized within discussions of 1990s and early 2000s U.S. indie and post-hardcore movements.
