Биография

Edmonton’s own Fire Next Time have spent the last 10 years diligently concocting their own unique blend of epic folk-tinged punk rock. They have endured a pilgrimage of sorts, from young upstarts just wanting to play to seasoned stalwarts at the top of their game. Throughout the course of their four full length albums, Fire Next Time have shared the stage with greats such as Good Riddance, Off With Their Heads, A Wilhelm Scream, The Flatliners, The Mad Caddies and more. Their boundless energy and countless hours of devotion to their craft comes shining through every time they hit the stage. Fire Next Time’s songwriting is steeped in the rich musical and literary traditions of punk rock’s grim narrative songwriting a la Townes Van Zandt scoring a Cormac McCarthy adaptation with Henry Rollins’ blessing. With ten years under their belt, Fire Next Time's latest album KNIVES is a culmination of shared experience, heartbreak and triumph. "My spirit is broken" are the first words screamed over a sea of distortion on the first track Wanderlust. The anthemic anguish meanders with Collars reading like a confession letter that will never be sent. Never afraid to proudly display their influences, a haunting Nebraska-esque quality is brought to Old Scratch. KNIVES is packed with visceral imagery and leaves little room to breathe. The themes explored on the album are sure to please your inner cynic. For Fans of: Against Me, Gaslight Anthem, Flatliners, Tom Waits, Off With Their Heads
