Firebird Band Press:
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."
