The Fireflys are a UK-Americana/Alternative band from Runcorn, North-West England. 
Based on the songwriting of Singer/Guitarist Lee Wylding, the bands line up is completed by Bassist Sam Bramhall, Piano player Chris Tann and Drummer Andie Packer. 
Marking the beginning of a new generation of UK Americana/alternative guitar bands, The Fireflys are indebted sonically to the likes of Neil Young and Tom Petty, to more recently R.E.M. and City & Colour. 
Fireworks Magazine has labelled them "The UK's answer to Counting Crows", whilst Mike Peters of The Alarm  recently said on live TV that the band "are a good mix of REM and The Gin Blossoms". 
After the cult success of "Embers Of The Autumn", The Fireflys 4th LP "The Illumination Of Everything" is due for release in April 2016 and will be distributed through Townsend Stores (The Who, Noel Gallagher) on the Canadia Records label. 
Three singles have already been lifted from the album "Release/Repeat, Branches & Illumination", and have enjoyed airplay on BBC Radio, Old Trafford Stadium, MUTV, Bay TV Liverpool and many other various stations, with each single peaking at #1 on the Amazon charts and top 10 on the iTunes Country & Alternative charts respectively.
