About Me


"And we are marching onward..."
We've come a long way in the last year and a half. We've written and recorded two albums, played nearly 100 shows up and down the east coast, shared the stage with some of our favorite bands, and landed a spot on Bamboozle. It's a lot more than any of us could have ever hoped for coming into this project. To thank everyone who made this possible would take another year and a half.
This has been an incredible experience for all of us. Fire it Up! has brought all of us some unbelievable opportunities and introduced us to a lot of wonderful people we would never have met otherwise. As we all know, however, time brings change and all things must come to an end. It is with heavy hearts that we tell you all that we are disbanding. Our farewell show will be the Jesse Hall Memorial Show. It will be held on August 11th at the American Legion on Major Road in South Brunswick. We'll be sharing the stage with some of our best friends, so please try to make it out. This will also serve as the CD release for our final album, To Awaken The Ghost.
Thank you so much for having made this possible. If you've listened to our music, bought our merch, stuck around to see us at a show, given us a bite to eat, let us sleep on our floor, shared the stage with us, or come to see us while we were prisoners in the studio, we want you to know it's meant the world to us. None of this ever could have happened without your love and support. Thank you all so much.
