As a seminal part of Nashville’s early 1980s underground scene, Raging Fire merged hardcore punk with feminism and southern culture for a style that foreshadowed the modern rock of the 1990s, but was ultimately too far ahead of the curve. 

In 2015, the surviving members of the band released an anthology on CD and vinyl of re-mastered record tracks, compilation cuts, and unreleased demos entitled 'Everything is Roses: 1985 – 1989' to national critical acclaim and made a triumphant return to live performance at the historic Exit/In.

Since then, the reformed band has continued to play together and recorded tracks in Berry Hill with engineer/producer Mike Purcell for a new record. Entitled These Teeth are Sharp this limited edition record will feature all new recordings of recent as well as vintage songs and entered pre-release sale on November 26th at  Raging Fire's Exit/In show.

"Now, 25 years later, a much-needed anthology of Raging Fire's recordings has arrived to secure their legacy in the digital age. Everything Is Roses 1985-1989, due Oct. 6, is a collection of all the band's vital recordings, many of which are previously unreleased, some having been painstakingly mastered from dusty old cassettes. The vinyl packaging is stunning, with a lavish 12-page booklet full of notes, lyrics, photos, show fliers, etc., plus a 24-song download.”             --Nashville Scene  October 1, 2015
