THE FIRE IS SPREADING
Album review of STORIES OF TOMORROW
The debut EP from A FRIEND CALLED FIRE


Recently formed three piece A FRIEND CALLED FIRE has released their debut EP STORIES OF TOMORROW and it is COMBUSTABLE. Comprised of JON ALLEGRETTO (guitars/vocals), ADAM POWERS (bass/backing vocals), and AARON J. (drums), this CHICAGO, IL-based band is sure to set the windy city ablaze again. With tracks like "THIS GRACE" (a hard-hitting rhythmic jam containing lyrics like, "STEAL MY FACE NO USE LOOKING ANYMORE," and BATHE MYSELF IN FIRE"), "KILLER IN YOUR HEART" (a cymbal heavy song with a FLESH-CHARING BASS LINE, melodic tones and vocals sure to have the rocker chicks STOP'N, DROP'N, and ROLL'N), and "MR. REGRET" (a drum-kit-banging, last call-style of a ballad with contrite lyrics that kindle your own memories of regret) this album is an INFERNO that leaves your musical appetite BURNING for more. The only downside of the EP is that it doesn't capture the SEARING HEAT of this band's on-stage performances.

My advice to the reader is get out to a show, grab a CD, and don't forget your FLAME RETARDENT gear 'cause it going to get TOASTY in there!
