How long have you been a band?
The band played it’s first show in July of 2007. Collin and Stephen had been writing and recording Collin’s solo material for two years before deciding to form a true band.
Who are your main influences?
Muse, Radiohead, and Ben Folds.
What are you pursuing right now?
We begin recording our debut album this month and we hope to release it later this year. We love playing shows and have been touring regionally since July. We plan to continue even while we work on the album.
What is your goal or philosophy as a band?
Our goal is to create songs that are unique, aggressive, and positive. We want to entertain those who love rock music and to give a deeper meaning to those who wish to find it. We are here to play rock shows and impact anyone who will listen.
Do you have an album for sale?
Not yet but we love to put new material on the internet when we can. Our myspace is the best place to go for that and also for updates on the recording process.
Any shows coming up?
June 7th - McGee’s Irish Pub in Anderson, SC. We are playing with Daniel Machado.

The Fire Tonight are a *blast* to watch in concert. Lots of energy & great music.
These guys are friends of mine and I can vouch for their excellent musicianship.
Plus, they’re just all-round great guys.

Wow, that’s quite an eclectic group of influences. The dichotomy between Muse and Ben Folds completely floored me. I haven’t heard these guys yet but I’m definitely going to be looking for some of their work now.
