After releasing two full length albums on Fat Wreck Chords, Smoke Or Fire is coming back with their third LP. To make fans happy they just released a seven inch with two new songs, that show the direction the band is taking.
Just like on their debut album “Above The City”, the new songs are very influenced by the melody of pop punk, but they still have a twist of fast and packed gruff punk, as a cross between old Against Me! and new Dear Landlord, but with less harmonic parts yet harder. A song like “Speak Easy” shows how the guitar riffs and the punk attitude are still there to make people move, yet “Modesty” is more intimate with its lyrics that deal about serious issues about life and work.
Smoke Or Fire is surely one of the punk rock bands we will wait for in 2010, with a full album that will show how punk rock is still alive and kicking in 2010.
