Bio

Best described as a working class take of post-punk colliding with metal tendencies. From a lyrical post apocalyptic introspection to an ever looming musical eruption, Firekills has the rare gift of being able to think and rock at the same time.

This Austin five piece have had an undeniable impact on the Central Texas music scene since forming in the summer of 2002. Members include Jamie (vocals), Erik (guitars), Jimmy (guitars), and Daniel (drums). After making an impression upon 101X DJ/Music Director Toby Ryan with their incendiary live energy, Ryan introduced them to local ‘lord of the board’ producer/engineer Dwight Baker. Coming out of lightening paced sessions in mid ’04 was the seven song EP “A better way to hurt each other”. They immediately set their sights on logging as many road miles of regional touring, to cut as wide a swath through Texas as possible. Touring every conceivable square inch of the state as well as regional runs to Florida and back, 2004 was highlighted with Houston’s Alternative giant 94.5 The Buzz kicking in spins of multiple cuts and being selected to play the Texas Warped Tour dates. – myspace
