Lightfire are a 5 piece alternative rock band hailing from Cannock, West Midlands. 

Established in 2011 Lightfire consist of vocalist Scott Sieradzki, bassist Lee Nightingale, drummer Dave Johnson and guitarists Rich Bates and Rich Walton. 

In their short existence the boys have supported The Xcerts and been on the same bill as INME, The Skints and will soon share the same bill as Yashin.

The lads were handpicked by Kerrang Radio's Johnny Doom to play Kerrangs K!trl Alt Del Alternative rock night, they have also received numerous airplays and studio interviews on Kerrang Radio, Absolute Radio and the BBC introducing show. 

“Lightfire bring the big riffs, the heavy grooves and the huge anthemic choruses, giving the big American players like Shinedown or Disturbed a run for their money. Definitely one to watch” – Johnny Doom, Kerrang! Radio. 

"wild crowd, wild riffs, drumming so tight I thought I was having a heart-attack and soaring choruses...lightfire were on form!"
Alex Baker Kerrang! Radio

"Explosive, hard hitting and truly electrifying! We can expect big things from this fresh band!" - Emma Scott - Pure Rawk Awards - Promoter Of The Year 2011 and 2012

“With memorable and catchy songs like these there is definitely room in the market for a band like Lightfire” Metal Mayhem UK 

"Towering, city block-sized rock riffs and yearning choruses." Burton Mail

Simon Li at Universal said this about our track "Ignorance"

"Heavy Helter Skelter intro. Big Loud and Well Produced - I'm wondering whether I should be writing this ALL IN CAPITALS ! Good energy and some melody too, to go with the growl . Awesome electric guitar sound and I love the drums. They may just have enough character to lift themselves from the others in this crowded genre. Good job lads."

Pete Donaldson at Absolute radio said this about "Ignorance"

Starts off just like the Bouncing Soul's 'Hopeless Romantic.' It's a testament to this songs power that I'm not disappointed that it isn't that song. A storming rock track, and one I was proud to play on the radio.

“One of the best promo packs i've received. Three strong tracks on this baby, 'Ignorance' and 'The System' are good uptempo alternative rock anthems. However, compared to the others, 'Time' is much deeper in mood and shows off Lightfire's gentle and creative side more with almost the drama of 'Coma' (Gun's 'N' Roses) and maybe even a subtle hint of Metallica's Master Of Puppets with their harmony. One tune not on the CD I was sent which i think is one of their strongest is 'Higher' which has a great guitar riff" - Nick J Townsend - Ryan's Gig Guide
