Firefang

White as semen

Sheeezzz

In a home

Everybody's right

One day

I sing I sing

Nothing

Waiting list

Down

Crazy

Garage-grunge trio from Ghent (Belgium) is storming their miniature subculture in their tiny progressive bubble of a little European city.

Firefang screams out against inequality, patriarchy, environmental destruction and the dying spasms of the capitalist insect...

It's an ungrateful job but someone's got to make money out of it!

In january the trio released their self titled debut album at the infamous 4AD club. The album received good press at home and abroad.

In just a few months time the jaded trio already shook the nihillist butts of gen Y at locally 'significant' venues like Trefpunt™ at Oorpijn (Earache)™ & Kinky Star™, got airplay on Urgent™ and released a DIY music video.

A nostalgic rock show and permanent tinitus with these politically correct effeminate anarchists from the Belgian squat scene...

“In a sea of imitation and instances belonging to an already existing music field, some bands manage to design their own universe using nothing but the finest essences of their inspirations”, “Fast as punk, desolated like blues, loud as rock'n'roll, Firefang smells like grunge spirit to anyone prone simultaneously to vulnerability and power”, “Long time since I heard an album with so many great songs. Particularly a debut album”, “Great songs, powerful vibes, outstanding guitars and wonderful singing.”
- aLive Reports (UK)

“Vanaf het eerste nummer wist Firefang me bij de keel te grijpen. Dit was bij momenten snoeiharde rock met inderdaad veel sporen uit de grunge maar ook met genoeg rock-'n- roll in de poriën en stevige ballen aan het lijf.”
- Musiczine

“Firefang rijgt het aanstekelijkste uit de grunge, garage, blues, stoner- of punktraditie aaneen vanuit complexloze muzikale oerdriften”, “Rauw en eerlijk.”
- Patrick Smagghe, 4AD

“Firefang verveelt op geen enkel moment”, “Een tiental nummers die een spoor van vernieling achterlaten zonder zichzelf (of elkaar) te verliezen in een muur van lawaai, ruis of overdrive”, “denk aan MC5, de energie van de Stooges, maar evengoed aan het vroege Nirvana”, “garagerock met invloeden uit zowel proto-punk, grunge, psych en blues.”
- Luminous Dash

“The fuzzy barrage of sound that escapes in to the room grabs hold of the listener and has them captivated by the Firefang offerings of rock 'n' roll and dirty blues”, “Able to deliver sound in a blaze of speed as well as slowing the tempo the trio superbly control what could easily become a chaotic confusion.”
- Emerging Indie Bands (US)

“Variatie troef en hoogtepunten genoeg”, “Een opmerkelijke entree”, “Firefang koppelt het prettigste dat grunge, garage, blues, stoner en punk te bieden hebben zonder complexen aan elkaar”
- Kinky Star Ce Soir

”… Hallelujah! Just what we need right now in these fucked up, chaotic Trump days! What you get is an avalanche of highly emotional outbursts. From full blooded Kurt Cobain grunge exorcism to far-out quiet/loud/quiet borderline hysteria and some reflective blues meditations in-between. Overall the record is an inflammable volcano. You can hear the band bleed, sweat, and cry. They bloody care about what they do and it’s definitely more fun than going into therapy. Try them and test your speakers…”
- Turn Up That Volume

”What a noise, what a voice, the screaming is beyond the combined force of the former couple Cobain-Love fighting at the top of their lungs,” ”Garage, grunge, psychedelic, Neil Young and more. It's all there, without losing an inch on consistency,” ”The album is -yes, a lot of noise, of course- varied, with great mood changes, great playing and loads, truckloads of enthusiasm that makes Firefang irresistible to listen to. It's dirty, grungy, smudged, but all honoured with a keen ear for spotting exciting melodies. So get out your old rags and start polishing. Underneath all that grime is pure gold.”
