Infinite Life is about the intense intoxication of a new love affair. Its pulsating bass line seductively guides you through the early stages of an addictive relationship. The track sees singer/songwriter Adam at his most open and honest, revealing the poetic truths of young lust and love. The song has been a popular mainstay in the bands live show for 3 years and with the help of Gavin at Magic Garden Studios they have crafted a unique sounding anthem that deserves your attention.

Infinite Life

Lyrics:

You are the glint upon my eye
You are the catcher in the rye
But I’m already standing on the edge

This is the view from halfway down
Caught in the deep and bound to drown
And there’s no way that we can turn back now

So is it truth or is it dare?
You are the colour streaming from my flare
But you’re too hot to handle
And I’m so tired of being cold
So is it truth or is it dare?

You are the ever-faded dream
The art that’s made but never seen 
And I’m corrupted by your presence here

Terrible choices line our path
But heaven lies between the cracks
And there’s no way that we can turn back now

So is it truth or is it dare?
You are the colour streaming from my flare
But you’re too hot to handle
And I’m so tired of being cold
So is it truth or is it dare?

Do you wanna, do you wanna go
To the place where nobody else knows?
Take me away, take me away, take me away
Take me away, take me away, take me away
The light upon our eyes is burning it all to the ground.
 
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

Still Time

Future Fires are a four-piece rock band from Birmingham, UK, combining riff-driven melodies and crowd-pleasing hooks with singalong choruses about love, life and languishing in the modern age.

"Guitars, bags of attitude and dancey undercurrents galore" - Medium Magazine

Forming in 2017, early releases ‘Far’, ‘Midnight Sky’ and ‘Keep a Secret’ captured a dedicated local following and earning the band their stripes on the burgeoning Birmingham ‘indie’ scene culminating in a packed out headline show at Muther’s Studio in November 2019, as well as previously netting a high-profile show at Godiva Festival alongside support for rising stars such as The Pale White and Bang Bang Romeo.

"Bound to cause scenes at a summer festival" - Counteract

The band’s sound has been steadily evolving into what they are now calling ‘apocalyptic indie’; dark, truthful lyrics laced with cynicism and regret; loud guitars that worm their way into your consciousness; and pounding drums that leave you no option but to dance yourself into oblivion.

"The kind of band you'd really enjoy live" - BBC Introducing

2020 has seen a meteoric rise in popularity for the band with a lineup change and their latest single ‘Infinite Life’ landing them their first major headline shows alongside their most widespread airplay to date, with exposure on BBC WM Introducing and Brum Radio.

Comprised of front-man Adam Norman, guitarist Jak Garrity, bassist Matt Levesley and drummer Alex Cowie, Future Fires are currently gigging across the country in support of their latest releases.
