Firesuite

Firesuite are a rock band from Sheffield. Their influences vary from member to member, from Cocteau Twins to Buddy Rich, Smashing Pumpkins through Django Reinhart. Firesuite released their début album 'You're An Ocean Deep, My Brother' in March of 2011 and was recorded during numerous sessions at Ebb Tone Studios throughout 2010/2011 with Tom Henthorn. Here is a blurb for said album - "We spent a great many hours trawling through old recordings and hidden demos, as well as the material we had been writing up to and including recording time, attempting to whittle down the 21 songs we agreed upon into something more concise. Somehow, amid heated debates about "spherical" albums and suggested concepts that no-one really understood we managed, over the course of the following year to complete "You're an Ocean Deep, my brother", 10 deeply personal and much-loved songs that we are really proud of, and want to share with you." Arriving with little to no fanfare, 'You're An Ocean Deep, My Brother' received praise from across the blogging community as well as national and international press sources. Upon its release Firesuite played shows across the country, including playing a hat trick of shows at Tramlines 2011. Firesuite also recorded two BBC Live sessions during 2011. Here are some press quotes for 'You're An Ocean Deep, My Brother' - "Nothing you have heard so far from the Sheffield quartet will have prepared you for this shift in gear. "You're An Ocean Deep, My Brother" is a thrilling ride, packed with emotional intensity." - SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK "'You’re An Ocean Deep, My Brother' delivers on all sorts of levels" - REVIEW STALKER "The first time I listened to Sheffield-based band Firesuite’s new album, ‘You’re An Ocean Deep, My Brother’ I almost had a cortical aneurism and it took me a full four weeks to pluck up the courage to listen to it again. Let me explain…this record is so big, so epic and dense that I really think it is going to be of massive importance to this band’s career" - SLOUCHER Fronted and formed by Chris Anderson (vox, guitar), alongside Chris Minor (bass), Richard Storer (drums) and Stuart Longden (keys) Firesuite are an ongoing musical endeavour, born out of the desire to create something loud & hugely affecting. Presently, Firesuite are cocooned in a studio deep in the heart of old-industrial Sheffield, piecing something together... "moving effortlessly between beautifully worked harmonies & sheer walls of sound, reminiscent of Pelican." ALT SOUNDS http://firesuite.bandcamp.com
