Fueling the Fire

About Me

Fueling the Fire is a 3 member Alternative Metal mixture band based in Laurel, MS, USA. The band began in January 2008 as Fluff and Xander reunited(Formally of Sidera). Thus ensued an intense search to find a bassist with the needed skills to create a new band with a harder edge as the band searched for a new sound, heavier than the regurgitated rock pop sound that seems to plague the local scene. They eventuall contacted Tick(Chad Knight, Understanding the Fall, All Against All, Hybrid No. 5). With the lineup complete, they hit Soundstream studios and recorded the band's first demo, "Don't Panic."
Since then, the band has had a fair amount of success in just a few short months, winning Band Wars @ Club Fire in Jackson, MS on Sept. 17th, capturing the title of artist of the month for May on Punkrock.org, making it to the semifinals in the punk category on Ourstage.com, and nearly landing a spot on the Atlanta leg of the Warped Tour! We can't wait to see what the future holds! No matter what, one thing's for sure, it will rock!! We hope to see you all out on the road someday!! Rock on!!
