The Fire Escapes

Bio:

"The sound of a tripping Kate Bush" - FOR MUSIC ONLY. "Four boys and one velvet-toned girl vocalist who play otherworldly melodic pop with a frazzled guitar noise and a classic psyched-out nous" - SIMON WILLIAMS, CLUB FANDANGO. "What I liked most about of 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. The Sonic Youth Sister phase dominates in "Breaking Into Your Heart" and mainly in "Fire Bird" - BIFF BANG POP!
