Free Music Notes for Fire

Free Music Review: A Quality, Seminal album of the 21st Century!
Hit: 5 Stars

Cannot speak highly of this album, which I must confess, I downloaded a month ago! I decided it was well worth the asking price so today I bought an official cd!

I've seen the band play live twice (both non-eventful) and, upon listening to this album (which by the way is GREAT). I feel fully obliged to applaud the producers behind this slab of musical joy. "Fire" has been produced to pop-rock perfection by Messer's Damien Mendis & Stuart Bradbury - aka SOULCHILD. A quick net check reveals previous productions such as Gorillaz, Brandy, Sugababes, Aaliyah, The Fugees, OPM & Foxy Brown/Jay-Z. A masterful stroke, then, for someone to engage these British 'hitmakers' with an, essentially, average "live" sounding Detroit garage-rock band! The payoff is high: Great sounds, styles mixed with infectious and energetic songs.

DANCE COMMANDER is the magnificent opener that manages to magically switch between New Wave (verses) & moshin' Nirvana (choruses)! NAKED PICTURES offers up another Nirvana-esque moment (intro guitar riff) into a satisfying bobbing drone with hilarious 'blackmailing' lyrics! NUCLEAR WAR is a short but sweet QOTSA/Foo Fighters moshin' romp - as is the more sinister sounding GETTING INTO THE JAM.

The white boy funk is omni-present throughout and no more than on IMPROPER DANCING. SHE'S WHITE (a single?) is one of the many other catchy 'sing-along' songs featured here. Sounding very much like KISS meets THE SWEET. Very Glam 'n' Glitzy! The hit debut single DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE featuring the screams of Jack White is not the only disco-flavored cut here on offer. No! I'M THE BOMB (think: Rod Stewart "D'ya Think I'm Sexy") & ELECTRIC DEMONS (don't think: dance).

GAY BAR is a hilarious surf-punk live favorite with pangs of Adam & The Ants, 50's rock 'n' roll, Hawaii 5-O & The Pixies all rolled into one 2 minute masterpiece. A classic and future hit, for sure. I INVENTED THE NIGHT is albums' "slowie" which, to my mind, drags a little bit. Although, interestingly eerie with its Tubeway Army/Gary Numan influence.

Saving the best 'til last: SYNTHESISER. Oh my God! What can I say? But, truly amazing! Coming off sounding like an 80's classic recorded in 2003. It evokes the feeling of so many favorite artists of that era, it's just too hard to pin point what! Anthemic. This HAS TO BE a single! For once, I don't feel short changed. You'll be laughing, dancing and singing...Money well spent! Impressive debut.

Fire Poster

Detroit's Electric Six splice punk, new wave, disco, and arena rock into a total entertainment solution for the new breed of rock n' roller. 'This single is...pure driving disco-rock, complete with a new wave saxophone solo and ridiculous lyrics. Easily one of the best rock songs of the past year' - NY Times. 'Hold on, have the White Stripes gone Studio 54?' XL Records. 2003.
Electric Six is the most exciting band to come tumbling out of Detroit since Kiss. Sporting grimy leisure suits and hilarious stage names (the guitarists are known only as Surge Joebot and the Rock and Roll Indian), the ragtag group comes up with a deliriously catchy disco trash sound on its smart, hyperactive debut. Studio 54 horns mingle anxiously with AC/DC-influenced garage riffs, while frontman Dick Valentine rants maniacally over jerky, suggestive punk-funk songs like "Gay Bar" and "I'm the Bomb." Plus, rumor suggests that single "Danger! High Voltage" features the White Stripes' Jack White on backing vocals and, less plausibly, Bill Clinton on saxophone. How cool is that? Very. --Aidin Vaziri
