You can get on the mailing list by E-mailing: [email protected] On Fire are a low down, dirty, balls-out hard rock outfit from South East London, fusing rock/funk/soul and metal for a totally new listening experience...Formed in 2004, City On Fire cut their teeth in the pubs and clubs of london, quickly gaining a reputation for blistering live shows and hard hitting grooves, and made it onto the Download Festival 2005...After a bout of the old "line up sickness", City On Fire are back tearing it up in venues up and down the country and getting better too!Calling all who DON'T wanna keep hearing the same old shit, and who are looking for heavy music that you CAN feel up your woman to... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS BAND"LONDON NEWCOMERS CITY ON FIRE (KKK) do their best to permeate the morning chill with their off-kilter grooves".............................................."With bleary-eyed festival fans still spilling out through the campsite gates, London-based outfit City Of Fire kick off the Napster activities before breakfast's had time to settle. And their grungy rocknroll is just what the doc ordered. Pearl Jam-esque vocals served on a bed of roaring guitars and pounding drums, their sound is as infectious as it is rocking, proving you dont have to play high up the bill to write yourself into festival folklore.".................................................. ...................................Having graced the Download festival stage last summer, City On Fire have evidently already gained notable industry interest, despite the bands refreshingly disparate sound from the many popular scenes of the current zeitgeist. With their heavy, groove orientated rock, City On Fire succeed in sounding remarkably fresh, whilst loosely touching on some of the best bands of the early 90's, with similarities to Temple of Dog and Soundgarden apparent. However, of all the Seattle acts, parallels with Alice In Chains are the most fitting, not only due to the dark nature of the music but with the highly impressive vocals of singer / guitarist Tidor evocative of the late, great Layne Staley.Last year City On Fire made the first tentative steps into the big league, this release shows that 2006 could well be the biggest year of their careers to date.Rating: 4/5 by Dan JonesTO HELP SUPPORT US PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THESE CODES INTO YOUR PROFILE!
