We are FIRESUITE
IN SHORT FORM
Fronted and formed by Chris Anderson (vox, guitar), alongside Chris Minor (bass) Sarah Griffiths (vox, guitar) & Richard Storer (drums)
Firesuite are an ongoing musical endeavour, born out of the desire to create something hugely affecting, and crucially, something different.
Combining polar opposite dynamics, from total white noise, to moments of striking beauty, Firesuite are as complex a unit as you are likely to find. Influences are many. Obvious touchstones would be late 80's and 90's alternative rock, coupled with more avant garde European chamber pop. Listen closely though and you may hear a battle between Buddy Rich and Animal, a mid 30's chanteuse and Django orchestrating complex lead melodies on bass. Dense it may be, but the execution is undeniable. All corners of the press have praised Firesuite's demo recordings and live performance, proclaiming the band to be "Amazing. Original, diverse"(ROCKSOUND), and "intense and from the heart" (HIGH VOLTAGE).
The band have sold out their first two e.p's, "Bottled Sounds Of Me For You" & "Forever December" respectively, after playing shows across the country, with artists ranging from Jeniferever and Martin Grech, to This Et Al and ILiKETRAiNS.
Their second e.p, "Forever December" was recorded at Yellow Arch Studios with Robin Down (Richard Hawley, Klaxons), and true to type received almost unanimous praise from both local, national and international press sources.
"Are You In Remission?", Firesuite's third e.p, was released in December 2008 and praised as being "heroic.heart-tearing" by ORGAN. It features three songs, recorded with long time friend and collaborator Tom Henthorne at Ebb Tone studios. "Left Hand Never Moves", one of the most personal works the band have created, begins with a firework, threatening to pull you through the ceiling at any minute. "Sammy Davis Jr Jr", which is fuzz and fury in 1:29, and a suitable reminder of the live show, and finally, "it's 4am & backwards." which is something different altogether. Prepare to be slowed down.
"Are You In Remission" is available to buy through 7Digital and iTunes right now .
