A Wish For Fire takes a minimilist approach to the music, focusing on song structure, varied textures and beauty in simplicity. Each member comes from a different school of musical thought and offers a nuance of their own. They bring years of stage and studio experience to A Wish For Fire resulting in a varied and unique, yet seasoned approach to the project. The band's self-titled debut was released in July of 2003 achieving critcial success. A Wish For Fire recently went from a three piece to a four piece band with the addition of sep on second guitar. With new instrumentation, they layer melodies to create multi-textured sounds ranging from simple and elegant to a full on sonic assault. The band's eclectic influences include everything from Blues, to Motown and back to Psychedelic Rock. Powerful drumming and raw, understated riffs lead the charge with this lineup. They defy conventional structure and blend sometimes smooth, sometimes gritty vocals that are unlike anything likely to be found on the radio. There is a trace of psychedelic and classic rock in the composition with both the sound and arrangement following more of a feeling than any set (or expected) pattern. The lyrics are complex and full of disheartening yearning. The music and vocals combine to make an unmistakable mood unlike anything out there. A Wish For Fire has been around for four years and they have played numerous shows in the New England area. The band has had the pleasure of performing for WFNX's New England Product night at Bill's Bar and opening for groups like Ours. Their new album Skeleton Key released in August 2007 reflects 2 years of discovery and the ultimate culmination of the band's original intended concept. It is available for download on iTunes, emusic, Rhapsody and Napster. more information: reviews, press, etc. |
