The Fire Tapes are a Rock and Roll band. “A pretty f*cking killer combo of morose southern gloom and fuzzy indie-jams;” a wild, sprawling landscape of sound. They experiment with sonic textures and noise in the tradition of the Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth. They bend and blend genres, forging ahead on trails blazed by Gram Parsons and Brian Wilson. Their music is hard to put a label on, but one thing’s for sure – it’s got a Rock and Roll heart. The Fire Tapes’ debut album, Dream Travel, was released in 2011.
