My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/3/2004
Band Members: Ian - lead guitar, vocals
Chase - guitar, programing, keyboards
Daniel - vocals, guitar
Trevor - bass guitar
Josh - drums
Sounds Like: Layering a psychedelic, cosmic soundscape over the air with hard riffs interwined with shattering guitar fills.

-Erik Rust Imagine The Mars Volta conceiving a child with the Deftones and Incubus from the days of "S.C.I.E.N.C.E.", and you have something close to the bastard child known as Fists of Phoenix.

-Matt Sanders
"Horrible Pop Music"

-Nathan SurfacePutting a label onto Fists of Phoenix is a hard thing to do. Are they emo, or are they progressive because of their long arrangements and references to elements of space? It's possible to go on, but it's better just to stop and say that they're pretty unique.

-Ryan King
Type of Label: None
