You might recall my little rant back in June about the lack
of love being shown for a band called Fighting With Wire, and the painfully
long wait that we (and they!) have endured for the release of their second
album, Colonel Blood. Well good news people, it’s finally here.
I already had a pretty good idea of what to expect having
heard a few songs at live shows and online, but to finally have the album in
its entirety in my mitts is a treat. Cahir and the boys have done good. Great
in fact.
The opening song and first single, Waiting On A Way To
Believe, sets the tone for the rest of the record – memorable riffs and energy-fuelled
choruses. They’ve drawn comparisons to grunge legends like Nirvana in the past,
and although there are definite shades of some seminal nineties bands, FWW
have their own unique sound that is laced with their Irish blood – listen and
you’ll see what I mean.
I won’t say anymore, but I thoroughly recommend you get your
hands on a copy and give your ears a treat. They are currently supporting
Coheed and Cambria, so if you can catch them live then even better!
FWW are now signed with Xtra Mile Recordings and the tour means that they are finally playing some venues that
reflect their sound and talent. This is a well-deserved new start for the boys
from Derry and the only way is up.
