Quest For Fire sign to Tee Pee
Toronto's Quest For Fire have signed with Tee Pee Records and will release their self titled debut on June 9th. We are leaking the lead track Bison Eyes for your listening pleasure:
PROMOTIONAL MP3: BISON EYES - QUEST FOR FIRE
You would think that playing in bands for a decade, and touring
constantly in shitty vans, might instill the desire to make your new
project a lucrative one. This however, hasn’t crossed the minds of the
four members of Toronto’s Quest For Fire. The sonic assault that these
guys unleash onto unsuspecting listeners in a live setting, through
their sometimes 10+ minute journeys is pure power. A contemporary take
on classic rock and psychedelia.
The band, made up of Andrew Moszynski (guitar), Chad Ross (guitar,
vocals), Mike Maxymuik (drums), and Josh Bauman (bass), spent a little
over a year holed up in a tiny practice space near Toronto's lakeshore,
refining their vision and obsessing over their common love of all
things strange.
Upon the inevitable demise of Canada's most beloved garage rock
underdogs, The Deadly Snakes (In the Red Records), of which Andrew and
Chad were core members, Quest For Fire began to prepare for their great
unveiling before Toronto's wary rock scene. On a hot August night in
2007, the band made their first appearance at ‘The Boat', one of
Toronto's most cherished dive bars located in Kensington Market. They
quickly became the city's most sought-after new band. Show offers came
flooding in to open for acts such as Black Mountain, Ladyhawk,
Mudhoney, Earthless, Howlin Rain, Witch……..... As their old bands
burned out, QFF took off. The Deadly Snakes faded with time and Mike’s
tenure with Canadian metal/hardcore heads Cursed came to an abrupt end.
One year after the release of their debut album on Montreal's
Storyboard label, QFF is stoked to announce that they have been picked
up by New York's Tee Pee Records. Their self titled debut will now be
available in the U.S./Europe in June of 2009.
