Quite possibly the first rock'n'roll band to incorporate a clarinet, Fire Underground is a band currently living in Melbourne, Australia, they're made up of Daniel who plays guitar, sings and blows a mean clarinet while Doyle bashes the hell out of his drums and sings. Drawing on influences like old school punk bands of the 70's, swing music and dirty rock and roll, Fire Underground have developed their own style that is more than entertaining to watch live, is powerful but fun, and thoroughly danceable.
In the past two years, FU have been honing their live skills playing more than 120 shows in venues all over Australia. Thanks to their high energy shows and wide ranging musical style appealing to a broad demographic they've been able to play with bands of many genres like recent Epitaph alternative pop signing Youth Group, Capitol Record's newest worlwide signing Airbourne, US goodtime blues band The Black Keys, Canada's hardcore kings Alexisonfire and the pop rock stylyings of Island Records' Starky to name just a few. They've had three of their songs gain airplay on national FM radio broadcaster Triple J and a video aired on (national TV show) 'rage'.
Over the coming months the band plans to use the money saved from gigs to travel to the US and Europe to play festivals like CMJ and Popkomm to get their music more widely heard and play in front of interested labels. |
