Fire Sale in February

Posted in Bands on January 30, 2024

Fire Sale, a punk band with the familiar faces of Matt Riddle (Face to Face/No Use For A Name), Chris Swinney (The Ataris), Pedro Aida (Ann Beretta), Matt Morris and Brad Edwards, will release a 2-song single on Feb. 9: The Alabatross.

Both songs were mixed as The Blasting Room studio and, as you might expect given their resumes, focus on pop-punk melodies and gang vocals.

“'The Albatross' is about the frustrating and hopeless feeling we have when we send our children to school and the worry of bullying, bad grades, and drug use have been overshadowed by the fear that they won’t come home at all," explains vocalist Pedro Aida.
