Influences
Heartache. Happiness. The sounds you hear late at night when you're lying in bed and you're not sure if you are really awake or just dreaming. God. The feeling you get when the sun starts to rise and it's just so beautiful that you hurt inside.

To Light a Fire is a five piece indie/alternative band from Birmingham, Alabama. Its sound has been compared to bands such as Radiohead, Coldplay, and U2. Since coming together as a complete unit in the summer of 2008 the band has already made a name for itself, regularly playing at various venues in the Birmingham area. Besides being featured on Warning Track Records, a compilation of bands from the Birmingham area, To Light a Fire has also performed at the Birmingham Folk Festival and the Moss Rock Art Festival. After releasing their self-titled EP in January 2009, they have built a loyal and ever growing following. Later that January, at Bottletree Café, they won the Alabama region of the International Music Festival. After nearly a year of performing music it is clear that big things lie ahead for this Birmingham-based band.
