Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire! – ‘War Coward’

Listen to

One of the more obtuse bands coming out of RADelaide (that’s Adelaide by the way) is Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire! who sound like At The Drive-In, Circa Survive and The Mars Volta are wrapped up in a highly combustible package that, upon explosion, you can’t help but dance to.

A handful of self-released EPs have been committed to the annals of the Fire boys, and a new bun is cooking in the oven as we speak. The highly pitch-shifted first crumb from their forthcoming album is ‘War Coward’, a tasty offering that foregoes the usual verse-chorus-verse shtick and adapts a more cyclical format, ebbing and flowing rather than adhering to any set structure. Definitely a grower.

    I like the song. its different but still has that upbeat Fire!y oodness attached to it. Their live show these days is still great but sounds very different. Glad to see some attention for these guys on the blogosphere. (Y)

    Why isn’t this band signed already?? The most we hear from adelaide is either boring dance punk or hip hop.. someone get onto this!!

    once upon a time they could’ve been accused of being dance punk (although I wouldn’t have called it boring) still, dare I say it.. their insane sound has matured brilliantly. This song is definitely a grower!
