About F I R E F L I G H T:
The Healing of Harms is one part testimony and one part inspiration to those who are alone. It also speaks to those facing insurmountable odds… (more) and needing answers after falling in harms way. Its an album that exposes pride, gossip, guilt, and shame and then reciprocates by answering it with humility, love, forgiveness and hope.
Birthed from the small music-starved town of Eustis, Florida, just outside Orlando, this debut record is the culmination of five years playing shows and waiting patiently for the right opportunity. But this project would not have been possible without the EP they released two years prior appropriately titled On The Subject of Moving Forward. That project is what led them to sign with Flicker Records (Pillar, Kids in the Way), who will release the bands first national album.
A mutual love for bands like The Juliana Theory, Zao, Def Leppard, and Skid Row was their initial point of connection musically, but the bands members soon found that their similarities ended there. They each had a different idea about how the music should take shape. While most bands find musical compromise difficult, Firefights sound, as well as its resiliency, was established in democracy. The band has found that sharing ideas and control is its success secret. Lead vocalist Dawn Richardson explains, It works best when you put the group goal above the individual. You can hear it in our music. We dont sound like much else out there right now because we all come from different places, and our sound meets somewhere in the middle. The remainder of the band agrees, comprising Wendy Drennen (bass), Glenn Drennen (guitar), Justin Cox (guitar, background vocals) and Phee Shorb (drums).
Richardsons lyrics are selfless and direct, a reflection of the bands mission as a whole. On Myself, she v (less)
