"There's been enough meeting of expectations," declares guitarist Seth Cohen at the end of a phone interview concerning his latest band, The Fire Show. "I'm much more interested in confounding experience."
One look at just the packaging of either of the band's two releases will hint at that mission, while the music itself will downright confirm it. Shrouded in perverse intrigue and possessed of an almost apocolyptic gloom, The Fire Show rumbles and seethes through some new beast of anti-rock that doesn't quite compare to anything else out there.
