Firebird

Any fans of Firebird here? The man behind the band is Bill Steer, ex-Carcass guitarist. Quite a departure from those guys, though.



Pretty awesome stuff. I only have three of their albums so far thanks to them being imports, but I hope to get the rest soon. I just read there's a new album in the works now.

Anyway, you should definitely check them out if you dig retro blues rock.

I've liked the samples I've heard but I haven't purchased anything yet. I dig the whole retro blues vibe, but I'm not 100% sure it would be something I'd get tired of after a few spins. I'll probably pick up one if I found it cheap enough to check 'em out.

Any recommendations?

Not my cup of tea with this band. He needs to just reform Carcass and do more albums with that band.

Surprising reply.

Here's another: I like Firebird more than Carcass.

No idea. All three are solid, generally similar in style. Nothing is amazing, you know, just some solid rockin' tunes.

Bumping this one back to life since I'm playing Hotwings right now. Anyone heard the new one yet?

Not I. Grand Union is the most recent I own. Now I wonder if Newbury Comics has the new one. I'll have to check.

I've only got 2,(s/t and Hotwings) but they moved up on the priority list. I'm digging this allot more than I thought I might.
