   About Ball of Flame Shoot Fire

Danny & Rob, our new EP can be downloaded for free right HERE

"Jokeland," BOFSF's first full-length album is now available for purchase at cdbaby.com and on iTunes

"Grumpy Little Bird," our 2007 EP is also available for purchase on iTunes and at cdbaby.com

People Talkin':

"Its a weird kind of mix, and this is off the grid for them - sample-based electronics. Its kind of weird, its kind of "experimental," but it keeps my attention so I'm posting it." -- lucid media on Danny & Rob

"Jokeland is crazy and fun and smart and interesting, and I really hope enough people can stomach its beautiful weirdness long enough to dig in and really appreciate it. Stuff like this doesn't come around everyday." --Fear of Arthropods

"Ball of Flame Shoot Fire have the capability to become the next big thing in the world of creatively unpredictable indie-rock." --Obscure Sound

"‘Mugs’ is daft and very loveable." --mp3hugger

"I'd call Grumpy Little Bird the first great new Pittsburgh record of the year (2008), with the potential for a wide, yet whip-smart appeal." --Manny Theiner, Pittsburgh City Paper

"Ball of Flame are one of the most challenging, rewarding, and important bands to arrive in the Pittsburgh scene, a group that should command attention by more than a few people craving music that is this heavy with ideas." --Speed of the Pittsburgh Sound

"You better start listening to these guys now. Seriously." --An Inside-Out Sock

"Goodness gracious Ball of Flame Shoot Fire are great." --The Devil Has The Best Tuna

"Jokeland is a difficult album to wrap your head around, but give it some time and even the more abstract songs reveal some fascinating and entertaining moments. The music is brimming with ideas and contains enough ambition that to ignore it would be a real shame." --Chewing Gum for the Ears

"The singer from Ball of Flame sounds like a gay Ozzy Osbourne." --"Big Gay Chulo," Gamingforce.org Forum

i like the subliminal message in your information. and your music. my mom also likes your music, although she wanted to know if "turn the screw" was a sexual innuendo. i told her it was a henry james reference.
