FIREHOUSE
1990 - FireHouse.
1992 - Hold Your Fire.
way more Helter Skelter.

September 7, 1990 - 2025: 35 years of: FireHouse.

Kick-ass cinder.

Setting the stages afire in Charlotte North Carolina, they hit hard from the East Coast. The hot Class Of '90, would inadvertently be the last gang of the genre. From EXTREME to SLAUGHTER to VIXEN, the Cathouse was ablaze ...time to call the FIREHOUSE.

Dial chaos on the FM-station, as "Rock On The Radio" cracks the silence. Razor sharp and wait, "Don't Walk Away" as the heavyrock midpace stomps with pride. Baby bye-bye "Don't Treat Me Bad" ...that is "All She Wrote". Straight to the heartbreak, this hardrock earthquake is set to "Shake & Tumble".

Sunset Strip's got another thing comin'

Loud arenarock, armed with killer hooks and metalized-guitars. RIAA-certified Double Platinum, the fuse is lit, the next smoldering action shall burn on Hold Your Fire CD ...in a very very very different 1992 hardrock-landscape.

RIP C.J. Snare (1959-2024)

June 16, 1992 - 2022: 30 years of: Hold Your Fire.

"You know it feels good, you know it feels right !" After the well received debut, 1990's self-titled Firehouse CD, the ember was still glowing red hot, filled with juicy production and devastating licks, albeit the rocknroll tide-change of 1991-92.

The firemen courageously kicks the front-door and goes deep into the action and "Reach For The Sky". More loud rock rings with "Get In Touch" and the colossal decibel decadent "Rock You Tonight".

Don't treat 'em bad as they just wanna play, as displayed on "Mama Didn't Raise No Fool" and the riff-roaring "You're Too Bad" is another tough knuckle punch. The obligatory powerballad "When I Look Into Your Eyes" delivers the goods in all of the designated departments.

Sadly 1992 was hardrock-hostile and FIREHOUSE's record-label Epic Records did little to nothing to promote this blazing red hot record. Thankfully, real fans of quality hard-rocknroll, all 500000+ of them, did help the CD find a home as the RIAA-certified Gold was reached. Sadly 1992's rock drought was knee-deep as only a handful of bands shook the house-down: WARRANT, SAIGON KICK, W.A.S.P. and your truly FIREHOUSE. The loose cannons would discharge again on their 1995's 3 CD.
