"The Drive"

UPC: 7 23248 21012 2
"The Drive" CD EP showcases The Firebird Band's ability to
combine experimental sounds and electronics into accessible pop
songs. Diving into and embracing the synth sounds of hip-hop (while
not becoming hip-hop) with sequenced loops and dance beats, some of
these songs will fit well in clubs while others will live in college dorm
rooms and car stereos. Keeping an edge while showcasing their
duality of direction, The Firebird Band remains unique in sound and
musical concept. "The Drive" serves as an exciting preview of things
to
come on their next full-length album (to be finished and recorded by
the end of the year). The Firebird Band is currently on a summer tour
with The Mercury Program spanning the entire U.S.
Press Quotes
"Beginning as a side project, The Firebird Band has now developed into
a fully functional
act featuring Chris Broach of Braid and Andy Howthorne of Pilots in Hiatus.
With credentials such asthese, it's no surprise that The Firebird Band excels
in creating subtle melodies out of kinetic,awkward time schemes and emotive
vocals." -Jersey Beat
"Rising from the ashes of the dearly departed Braid, guitarist/singer
Chris Broach is joined
by a former member of Pilot in Hiatus. Surprisingly, not as much like Braid
as you'd think. Heavy guitars with synth flourishes and drum-machine beats,
making for an intriguing electro-emo hybrid." -Alternative Press
"Many of The Firebird Band's songs borrow from a Cure record or two.
Where most people
would write this off as a coincidence, unoriginal or obnoxious, I love this
modern adaptation into apostpunk kinda feel. Plus I'm a sucker for sexy, pathetic
attempts by cute frontmen to express themselves." -New York Press
"Here within you can find plenty of fuzz drenched guitars, weird drum
machine beats and
occasional electronic blips. If an indie rock band like Silkworm had access
to a Casio synthesizer the end product would be The Firebird Band."
