Rising from the ashes of Auckland’s My Asylum and South Africa’s The Narrow, multinational Hard Rock act Fire at Will are taking New Zealand and South Africa by storm.
Citing Lost Prophets and Breaking Benjamin as influences, their sound is a tight, hard hitting mix of the best parts of these two iconic bands. The guitar is heavy, the vocals are catchy, the drums make you trash your steering wheel in rush hour traffic jams. What more could you want?
Their single, the seething riffagery that is Can’t Wait, is doing the circuits on commercial radio already, and expect to hear more with the release of their debut album The Way Out. The album is a steady slew of potential singles, all hard and heavy, all mosh inducing, all catchy as hell.
If you haven’t yet, download The Way Out from iTunes, and you’re still not late to catch Fire at Will live on tour. Check their websites for dates and details.
