Firestations is an alt-pop band. They write simple songs then paint over them with drones, vocal harmonies, electronica and unusual rhythms. Mike plays guitar and sings, Laura sings and plays synths and flugelhorn, Martin is on electric guitar, Giles is on bass and Tom is on drums.
Their second album The Year Dot is out on 6th April on Lost Map Records (home of Pictish Trail, Rozi Plain, Ed Dowie, Lazy Day and loads more) and they have two singles out now called Receiver and Build a Building (see above and below). They have had radio plays from Cerys Matthews, Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson, Gary Crowley.
"With its clinking electronics and driving rhythms, there’s a touch of retro-futurism about Receiver, like a child of the 1980’s picturing what pop music would sound like in 2018". For The Rabbits
"A punchy slice of guitar-driven pop full of infectious melodies, hazy vocals and hypnotic synths". The Skinny
“Sunken, serene guitar pop”. DIY
