To me firehouse isn't
just anther good band, but a melodic
hard and heavy phenomenon. Discovered
by Jon Bon Jovi, they start their
musical career near the end of the
80's and since the very start they
achieved great numbers in the sales
and they began their unstoppable live
tours all over the world (but not
Greece since this country belongs
to another planet!).
Time passes by and
their music becomes less popular,
since the band's photo is withdrawn
for the front covers of the magazines
and their songs can't reach the top
of the charts anymore. But Firehouse
refused to sacrifice their music in
order to earn a new contract with
a big mainstream label. On the contrary
they decided to stay on their initial
course and release their music through
their own label, formed exactly for
that purpose.
"Prime Time"
is the band's latest offering, released
in Greece back at the start of the
Olympic year of 2004 and it proves
once again who holds the scepter of
melodic hard and heavy. Smart melodic
riffs and catchy refrains are its
main characteristics. It's undoubtedly
their best and slightly heavier record
and one of the year's best.
My biggest dream
is to arrange a summer festival on
a Greek beach dedicated only to hard'n'heavy
music, with Firehouse as headliner.
I'm pretty sure I'll make my dream
true one day. I only ask from you
to prepare yourselves for that day
by seeking all of their releases starting
with the amazing "Prime Time"
