'Gasoline' is pedal-to-the-metal from moment it starts and does not let up for a moment, with the band managing to infuse all their signature styles into the track; high-octane guitar riffs, some seriously grooving bass lines, thumping drum beats and a few tongue-in-cheek lyrics

Gasoline

"Old Scratch" is a southern rockin', tongue-in-cheek take on the age-old crossroads duel with the devil, but with a twist—it's a drink-off! 
Drawing plenty of inspiration from the irreverent humour of Tenacious D, the iconic guitar duel from the movie 'Crossroads' and a sprinkling of 'Deliverance', 'Old Scratch' sees the devil challenge our protagonist to a drinking showdown, injecting a little humour into the timeless tale of Robert Johnson's legendary dealings with Lucifer himself. 
Behind the lyrics, the music grooves with infectious riffs and  southern rock swagger that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no-time; this is one that'll be stuck in your head for weeks!

Old Scratch

"Different Kind of Nightmare" takes you on a thrilling journey through the darker side of rock and glam. Very much inspired by Alice Cooper's glam rock era, the song creates an eerie atmosphere with brooding lyrics and a twist of menace, but still has all of the catchy choruses, soaring vocal harmonies and melodic guitar riffs that echo the golden age of glam rock. The lyrics speak of manipulation, choice, and consequences, painting a vivid picture of revenge and redemption, inviting you into a sinister scenario where every move has a price. The melodic hooks and powerful performance ensure that this track stands out in the rock genre, offering a fresh take on the legacy of glam rock. "Different Kind of Nightmare" is a captivating blend of darkness and melody, a haunting anthem that will linger in your mind long after the final note fades away.

Ablaze - Menace For The Medicine

Ablaze have had ideas to write their own Rock 'n' Roll Christmas song for some time and the excitement for wild and overindulgent Christmas parties sparked their inspiration for this track. It combines classic Australian charm with modern Christmas cheer, telling a tongue-in-cheek story that’ll bring back memories of office parties past. With a huge singalong chorus, it’s the kind of song that’ll get stuck in your head—and stay there well into the New Year!

It's A Most Wonderful Time For A Beer

‘Next Train Out’ is a high-energy, bluesy, riff-fueled anthem with chugging grooves and an anthemic singalong chorus.
Channeling classic Aussie rock attitude with a Southern-rock twist, ‘Next Train Out’ tells the tale of a fling that quickly went off the rails—a girl who seemed like a first-class ticket to paradise but turned out to be a one-way trip to disaster. With soaring harmonies, a blistering guitar solo, and a groove that keeps the engine running, this track is built for the big stage and the open road.

Stumbled in off the street
Hey bartender! Make it mixed, make it neat,
I don’t care, ‘coz the gang’s all here, 
And it’s been way too long.

A watering hole in the suburbs,
An oasis in metropolis givin’ life to the fried
Of the 9 to 5,
And we’ll drink you dry,
‘Coz it’s been way too long.

Gonna have a night that we won’t remember at all!

We’re gonna break on through now,
Where’s my drink?
Next round is on you now,
Where’s my drink?

Couple rounds in, the shots are on fire!
We’re goin’ all night and we aim to inspire.
Had a few on the ride in too,
Let’s go fuckin’ wild!
There’s a girl in the corner, she’s givin’ me the eye,
Oh, that tight little skirt and those long, smooth thighs.
Tryin’ to tell me, without saying a word,
That we’re gonna have the night of our lives.

And I can tell you right away that I ain’t goin’ home alone!

We’re gonna break on through now,
Where’s my drink?
Next round is on you now,
Where’s my drink?
Oh, a shot for you, a shot for me!
(Oi chuck us one! Yeah make it three!)
Bartender? Line ‘em up!
Guinness flowin’, dark n’ thick,
(Sharing is caring? You stingy prick!)
Hey bartender? Fill our cups! Yeah!

Hey! Hey! Hey! DRINK!

Gonna have a night that we won’t remember at all!
We’re gonna break on through now,
Where’s my drink?
Next round is on you now,
Where’s my drink?
We’re gonna break on through now,
Where’s my drink?
Next round is on you now,
Where’s my drink?

Where's My Drink

Long Way Home

Like all great things in the world, Ablaze started out as an idea over beers at the local pub, intent on rocking out and partying hard. The hard rock guitar riffs, head banger drum beats and loin-quivering bass grooves will get your fists pumping and your liver begging for mercy.

Alongside International and Australian headlining tours of their own, Ablaze have supported a plethora of international artists including Jimmy Barnes, Richie Sambora, The Screaming Jets, John Corabi,  Orianthi, Diesel, Electric Mary, Marky Ramone and more...
