Fire When Ready — As the Sky Stared Down with Angry Clouds!!! Buy it at Amazon
Art Injection Records should be proud that Fire When Ready’s album will be the label’s debut. It’s a strong post-hardcore album that seemingly is a concept album about the many facets of life and its struggles, hardships, and glorious rewards. Aggressive guitars and bass thrash about while the vocalist moans melodically with a jarring thunderous backdrop of percussion to propel it all to the forefront of your speakers. Produced by Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner (Codeseven, Bad Brains, Straylight Run, and Coheed and Cambria), the album is a head first dive into a pool of melody and harmony with interesting steps one way or the other that might not be what you’d expect from this quality live band. Check them out live but even more importantly pick up this album and stand by this great start-up label.
