Southern Welsh rockers HANGFIRE serve up a massive slab of blues groove with monstrous power and melody.
The band’s 'far reaching' influences spans the classic rock heyday of late July to the middle of August ’87!!
The roller-coaster ride of their first EP 'Confessions' was brought to a premature halt by the sad loss of their brother and drummer Aaron.
There followed a period of intense writing and 'soul searching' during which time long time friends Matt Blakout and Bobby Goo joined the line up to provide the incredible rhythm section that the band was waiting for.
The band’s performances on this album encapsulate an awesome fusion of light and shade – from the raw aggression of 'Bodies' and 'Shoot The Crow', the more melodic hook laden ‘For Crying Out Loud’ and ‘Faith In Me’ to the blues inspired 'Slip Away' and the somber, heartfelt tribute to their fallen brother 'Dead Man Walking'.
