The Fire project takes birth in 2005, with the meeting of the members from two bands very well known in the Italian alternative scene: Shandon and Madbones (Ammonia records/V2 records).
Shandon was one of the biggest Italian acts in the punk/ska scene, and even the rest of Europe learned a lot about their live qualities in the recent years.
Madbones was a big reality of Italian pop-punk/emo rock scene, and their songs reached also Japan, Thailand and Europe, with compilations like “Eastpak’s Propunkrocker 3” or “Punkk-a story to kill” (Universal-with Blink 182, New Found Glory, Hoobastank, Sum 41, the Used, Yellowcard, Finch..)
The guitarists, songwriters and singers, Olly and Andre, have been cooperating for many years, to take part as guests to various projects, to produce some bands, and create an Italian punk rockers all-star band.
What brings them to create this new project is the need of finding a new sound, that involves the various musical influences and experiences collected within more than ten 10 years of intense live activity.
During 2005 the band builds a small recording studio and works hard writing the new songs: the long studio sessions appear to be essential looking for a new sound.
The result is a brand new album called Loverdrive, that will be released in march 2006 by Bagana records, an Italian indie label. (to be continued…)
