the PASSING MOMENT is:

John Benedict // Vocals & Keys
Sam Tarplin // Bass & Vocals
Stephan Hettinger // Guitar
Jeff Amadei // Drums
Jack Hanson // Guitar

he PASSING MOMENT has been a band for over 5 years. They've gone through many member changes holding tight to the backbone of the orignal members Jeff and Stephan. Eggy was picked up back in 2003 and Sam added in Summer 04 with Jack completing the lineup that is now the Passing Moment in winter 04. Fitting in a comfortable comrpomise between Pop Punk, Post Hardcore, and straight up rock and roll, the Passing Moment has no clear definition of genre and keeps the crowd pleased with their ever changing array of tunes. After releasing a few less than mediocre 4-5 song EPs the Passing Moment mereged as a superpower in the Massachusetts scene with the release of their CD "Time After Time" in winter 05. Recorded & Mixed at Emaginary Studios w/ Ian Hughes(Eighty-Six, Twitch 27, Baby Strange, Aloud). Masterd at Specialized Studios by Colin Sapp. They have had the opportunity to share the stage with bands such as I Am The Avalanche(Drive Thru Records), Read Yellow, Eighty-Six, Brookside(NY), A Loss For Words(Rock Vegas), Cut Down The Tall Trees, Therefore I Am, Adams Shore, The Northwood, Twitch 27, One Size Fits All(RIP), Plan B, Easton Legacy, Greenwell, The Front Runner(RIP), Whistler, Letterday, Favorite Atomic Hero, The Fad(NJ), It's Alright Nightingale, 3 Feet Short and far too many more to list. They've played in many Mass/Cape Cod areas and many more to come in the near future. Hope you like what you hear and let us know. To sum it up, we're just five lads making music, rocking out and having fun. It's that simple.
