The Fire Escapes
The Fire Escapes bring velocity and variation to the teenage nation, from otherworldly melodic pop to noisy guitar squalls all topped off with ice-cool honey-through-velvet girl vocals. Songs about Crocodiles & Congladiators will illuminate their debut headlining slot at Club Fandango's 8th birthday bash. The band members hail from the North-East and North-West of England by way of Japan, the Isle Of Man and Ireland. "What I liked most about the band is that girl's voice is a mixture of Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), Tanya Donelly (Belly & Throwing Muses) and Isabel Monteiro (Drugstore). Listen to 'Street of Crocodiles' and 'Helicopter Blues' to feel the climate. Sonic Youth's 'Sister' phase dominates the sound of 'Breaking Into Your Heart' and especially 'Fire Bird'" (Biff Bang POP!)
