About Me

"Precisely snarling guitars with outlandish vocal keening...every part was sharp, audacious, and in its place." - NY TIMES.. .. They met in a plane crash. They learned to play in the swamps of Uruguay. Now Fires of Rome are slashing their way out with their debut album You Kingdom You. Tracks like “Love is a Burning Thing,” “17,” “Handgrenade,” and “Everyone Loves You” promise to bring you a wild adventure full of shining hooks, dark guitars and tantalizing symphonic arrangements. You will be amazed by its kaleidoscopic vision. Fires of Rome is a new band of outsiders from New York City. Andrew Wyatt (The A.M) guitar/vocals Gunnar (The Exit) drums, and Matthew LePlume bass
