I feel we are now witnessing the the start of something very special here. This album is absolutely astounding, and trust me that is not an over statement! We’re taken on a trip from the deep South sounds of an Louisiana swamp band to a West coast rock group with a punk rock feel to some tracks. Some times a little reminiscent of Green Day or perhaps the Black Crowes. If you like good honest rock n roll with a fire in it’s belly then take the time to listen to, or if you have the chance go and see them play live instead. A much better option as you can’t take in the atmosphere from the gig that these chaps project. The first track ‘I Got Sound‘. It starts off sounding like a scratchy vinyl record that’s been lost in the attic for years but then found, then it opens up into a brilliant first song with lots of great guitar riff’s, a nice hard honest beat and lyrics we can all sing along with, it’s a clever refreshingly new way to start a great song. Moving onto track two ‘Find A Way‘ A hard hitting song with a hard drum beat, and wild guitar sounds, really makes you feel you need to get up and go do some head banging! Track three ‘Leave My Heart‘ is a bit of a sneaky song. Starting out as if it’s going to be a nice gentle ballad but then it morphs into a song something like we might have heard from the late Thin Lizzy singer. ‘Before The Matinee’ To me, it sounds like when it was recorded they were all really chilled out and just breezed through the recording session. A song with ‘hit single’ written all over it! There's too much to talk about every track!! It’s a ‘not to be missed‘ album you will regret not having when these guy’s have hit the big time. Every track on the album has been a pleasure to listen to, and for only the second time this year i’m going to give this new piece of hard work a top five out of five. As a consequence it’s also going into my list of top ten albums to buy this year.

Fantastic debut album
What a great debut. Love all the tracks on this album, by the second listen you'll find yourself singing along. Particular stand out tracks for me being the title track and my favourite on the album, Before the matinee. This one's been keeping me awake at nights, constantly in my head, but in a good way. If you get the chance, check out this band live before they hit the big time. They sound just as good live. Cannot recommend this album enough. Buy!

Awesome
I hadn't heard of this band before but they are playing at Les-Fest this year (Scotland's only Rock & Metal festival) so I thought I'd better become better acquainted before seeing them live. What an awesome sound, I absolutely love it. I'm rubbish at classifying a music type and rubbish at saying who a band sounds like but believe me they are great. So far my two favourite tracks are I Got Sound and Before the Matinee. All tracks are catchy though and you can easily pick up lyrics and belt them out!

Fireroad I've Got Sound. A modern day classic?
If you're looking for some great driving tunes then look no further! Great blend of rock anthems and subtle story telling. Well done Fireroad this is a well rounded cd, which deserves all the positive reviews and accolades it should get. Check it out! Can't stop listening to it!
