FRIENDLY FIRES: Post-Hardcore High School Band to Indie-Pop Darlings

Interview with Friendly Fires 

Friendly Fires have been making music since they were teenagers. Ed, Edd and Eddy–just kidding, the third member’s name is Jack–met in high school and formed a post-hardcore band, First Day Back. However, they evolved into a pop band shortly after leaving university and began to take inspiration in their music from Kompakt, Carl Craig and Prince, leaving their hard-rock beginnings behind. Always having been listeners of many genres, the Fires understand and appreciate music to the fullest, so it was only natural for a conversation to go on a tangent about pop music before they were swiftly scooped up by their publicist for another interview.
