Like a cornered cat, Firefighter Font is the noise a small band makes when it wants to sound huge. The Saratoga Springs trio combine driving beats, minimal instrumentation, DIY ethos and large-hearted vocals in an effort to scare off predators and move bodies. Sustained by a steady diet of indie rock, Firefighter Font are most often compared to bands like Spoon, Broken Social Scene and Radiohead.
Formed in 2006, Damon Cook (bass), Adiro Patten (drums) and Greg Tebbano (guitar, vocals) regard their band as an axe to be used in case of an emergency. They invite you to break the glass.
Their debut LP, Crash Tender, is due out before the end of the Mayan calender.
