"Open your eyes, see the F.B.I."
One Gwailo and three Hong Kong guys come together to form FBI (Fire Bird International). A band which takes it’s audience on a musical journey that will blow your mind. FBI emerged from the New Territories in the Summer of 2007 and since then they have been performing at various venues around Hong Kong.
With the help of their friends, Soler, FBI have finished recording their debut EP at K-town studio. The EP has been produced by the duo’s drummer, Peter Gorton.
The EP has been given 4 out of 5 stars in local music magazine Re:spect. And has also been given 4 out of 5 stars from HK magazine. FBI’s sounds have been described as RHCP-esque. The songs on the EP range from soft pop, pop punk to hard rock. The EP features the song, ‘The Masquerade’, which won the I-cable band competition in 2007.
The EP was originally supposed to have 6 songs to represent their diversity of sounds. But, 2 more bonus tracks have been added to give the listener extra value for money.
In addition to the release of their own CD, FBI has also been featured on the Underground Compilation CD which showcases some of Hong Kong’s best up and coming bands. The compilation CD has also received 4 out of 5 stars from HK magazine and FBI have been lucky enough to be mentioned in the SCMP and other press due to the CD.
