About Me

Firethorn is comprised of three snarly young gentlemen from San Diego, CA. Firethorn refuses to do any of the following:
1. Wear sportcoats with jeans. (They'll leave that for Jeff Foxworthy.)
2. Make-believe that disco is garage rock. (It isn't!)
3. Live under the illusion that death metal is hardcore punk. (Minor Threat does NOT sound like Napalm Death.)
4. Pretend that bands rehashing Duran Duran excite them. (They don't!)
5. Let anyone stop them from doing whatever they damn well please.Once these demands are met, Firethorn will gladly subject you to a lovefest of skull-twisting noise and ballroom standards that will undoubtedly turn to flame directly from your speakers and burn your apartment building/house/club/city down. And they have a bubble machine.
