Melodic hardcore from United Kingdom
Fights and Fires emerged when two guys from Backwash took a university break. The remaining two, some of Worcesters’ punk/rock collective and an old refrigeration unit joined forces. The result is a stunning six track mini-album of chaotic, melodic hardcore.

Paying homage to their various influences: At The Drive-In, Rites of Spring, The Bronx, Husker-Du, Planes Mistaken for Stars and others, they have a forceful, thoughtful release of which they are justifiably proud.

‘Will this be my Curse?’ was recorded at The Waiting Room Studios, Worcester by Jim Turner (Tribute To Nothing, Backwash, Klay, Second Monday, Resonate) and it puts them on the starting block of a new and exciting phase.

Already, 2009 is lining up to be a hectic round of gigs and tours. They have tours booked for the UK, Scotland and Europe with more in the pipeline, as they set economic gloom to one side and release their own opinions on life upon their appreciative audiences.
