Thank God there are still bands on the planet who make music without giving a damn about hit singles and pleasing the mindless majority. The folks in The Fireworks previously released a couple of well-received singles, an EP, and a flexi. Now comes their debut full-length…and it’s a direct hit. The band is based in… Continue reading Fireworks at Babysue

Fireworks at Pop Lib
This thrilling sub-two-minute blast of fuzzed out feedback pop comes from London band The Fireworks from their “Switch Me On” album, released last month. It could just as easily have come from Edinburgh label 53rd and 3rd in the late 80s, so perfectly does it recreate the energy and style of The Shop Assistants, even… Continue reading Fireworks at Pop Lib
Fireworks at Fingertips Music
A blistering, buzzy shot of punk-ish pop (or, perhaps, pop-ish punk), “Runaround” is a brazen reminder that digitalia only gets you so far in a world that still exists in three dimensions (so far). There’s a chunky permanence to the guitar-bass-drum attack of The Fireworks that renders the knob twiddling that dominates 21st-century pop music… Continue reading Fireworks at Fingertips Music

Fireworks at Fat Angel Sings
Earlier this year, I added a track from the wonderful band The Fireworks. Its a great album and I enjoyed it so much, so wouldn’t we want to go for round two and put up another track “Runaround” sees the band dig into their retro roots (love the black and white) without sacrificing their scrappy,… Continue reading Fireworks at Fat Angel Sings
Fireworks at Porky Prime Cuts
PORKY WAS DELIGHTED TO recently receive a copy of The Primitives’ first album of new songs in humpteen years. Until then he had almost given up hope of hearing pure pop again, then The Fireworks’ Switch Me On (Shelflife records) was dropped in the mailbox by a hard-working postie due to become redundant any day… Continue reading Fireworks at Porky Prime Cuts
