Youth. Energy. Rock and Roll. Since the 1960's this combination has propelled thousands of youngsters into garages, with borrowed guitars, broken drums and a swiftly taught power chord.

The story for Skybombers is no different; it begins with the ejection of one member from his high school orchestra, as a result of some '"Living End" style double bass standing. The word went out, guitars were borrowed, drumkits were dusted off and re-assembled. The first rehearsal began with silence; two boys, having hated each other since a fistfight in year eight, now found themselves sitting in awkward silence, waiting for the remaining two members to arrive. Four words were said: "How are you?" "Good, how are you?" "Good."

The lads wrote songs based on those of the bands they loved, 1960's garage pop, 1970's rock and roll, early punk, 1990's grunge and Britpop. The Kinks, The Clash, You Am I, The Easybeats, Oasis, The Hives. The racket echoed outta the suburban garage and straight into another era. The youth and the energy still remained.

... Skybombers are about energy, they're about melody, they're about 4A.M., they're about being so drunk that you can't stand still, so your only option is to dance. Most of all, they are about being young. Everyone can relate to that!

About

Hailing from London, England, The Fuegos are a classic rock four piece with a modern twist. Using the tried and tested combination of drums, bass, guitar and keys the drawling yet harmonious vocals and effect soaked melodies pushed by growling bass give a slightly unexpected and contemporary sound.
The band have been together for just over 12 months and have already enjoyed extensive play on internet radio stations and have garnered success in a number of ‘battle of the bands’ style competitions, most notably having made the final 40 shortlist for SupaJam’s FIB Unsigned contest this summer and placing second in the world renowned Emergenza Festival.
With one major studio recording under thier belt the band have been focusing on thier live performances and have enjoyed stage time at some of London’s most prestigious venues including The Electrowerkz, Camden Dingwalls, and the Kentish Town HMV Forum as well as some live-to-air radio sessions.

Testimonies & Reviews

“I recorded The Fueogos for a Live to Air Broadcast on Recharged Radio. The band were amazing, on time , cooprative, as we only had 2 hours to load in, mic up, get a sound and go to air… And then they thrashed their instruments to within an inch of there lives, a great band chock full of Old school energy and modern day tunes that are hard to forget.” – Steve Honest, Hackney Road Recording Studio

“The Fuegos present driving synth backed rock n’ roll. Recent single, “M0N£Y”, made number 1 on the UK Unsigned Chart and big shows at venues including Kentish Town Forum and Camden Dingwalls have cemented them into the premier league of new alternative talent in London.” – Andy Quirk, Hits of The Near Future

“The Fuegos are the sort of band that you can rely on in a pinch. We like them as they’re reliable, they have good hair and get up for breakfast radio slots even though they went out the previous night…As for their music, it’s been described as good fun with an anarchist edge.” – Jordan Thomas, Recharged Radio

“…Against The World is an accomplished and exciting track that promises to be fantastic both live, and accompanying an album which is sure to carry a party-for-the-cool-kids vibe throughout.” – Keiron Heavens, Wildfire Music Review
