Can you tell them a somewhat anonymous Internet stranger who bumped into dave at slam dunk 2013 and smiled at him awkwardly misses them dearly please thx
I miss them too. :( Just listen to the end of that Empty Houses records where the songs start to sound like Fireworks songs. Or this song if you missed it: I Could Be The One 4 U, by The Wild Birds Of Heaven (Not that Fireworks-y tho I guess.)
Yes! Dave, Chris, and Teddy need to release more stuff! In terms of being "Fireworks-y" - It's got a lot of the things that make Fireworks stand out. I love the lyricism and the melody for the leads and vocals. I really haven't given Empty Houses much of a chance - good music but I never remember them when it seems like something I'd be in the mood for.
I definitely missed this, thanks for sharing! So good to hear dave's voice in something new (to my ears at least) again
Oh yah. It’s brutal today. I mean, some toxic characteristics from AP carried over. Out of all of them, I feel like band bashing has gone down. It sucks that it’s Fireworks on the chopping block, today.
Maybe I just stay out of those kind of conversations enough. Hehehe Typically good at not slamming my head repeatedly against a wall.
I remember seeing someone say that gloom was one of their worst tracks and I felt personally offended. If anything, Fireworks didn’t have enough deep cuts. I grew up in a legion hall hits me deep all the time.
I remember I couldn’t get into this band for a good few months but suddenly everything clicked and the world made sense
Gloom is so thick on self-pity, I can't stand it. Like a whiny little kid. Gets under my skin every time.
