“Guitar is dead. Blah blah blah. Where are the new bands? Blah blah blah. Well, if you look under the lid of your small town, you’ll probably find a seething hotbed of talent. On a night in Newbury last week, I was fortunate enough to go to a band night. ‘This is a local pub, for local people’ I initially thought, but, you get a real sense of community from the off. Basically, Firestate RAWK! The long hair flows like cider on a summer’s day, and the riffs are bigger than a Euromillions rollover. It’s like the 90′s are slapping you in the face, reminding you of when grunge and rock took centre stage.”

— Gary Lewis, Musika.uk.com

“Snippets from our Wardstone Review, See full review in our blog at www.reverbnation.com/firestate..... Having worked with the local music scene since 2002 designing all forms of merchandise from the standard Tees and CD’s covers I felt that when I started my own Clothing Range that I should continue this association and spent some time in sweaty audiences working out which band would suit the brand best. Firestate remind me of old Foo Fighters with a touch of Biffy Clyro and some classic British metal thrown in, without any of the cheese, this may not sound like the best way to describe any band, but I can assure you it’s the only way I can, and after you have seen them you will understand where I am coming from.Wardstone are about clean understated style and quality and Firestate fit perfectly within this remit, we are pleased to be associated with them and hope that this association makes us both lots and lots of money, no but seriously, I mean it . . .. lots and lots of money ha”

“Having listened a few times to Firestate’s four track EP, I do understand why there is a bit of a buzz surrounding these guys. Their sound is fresh and could be what the music market is looking for 2012. Their awesome fresh sounds can fill the hole that is currently missing in the music industry today. It's great to get a funky new sound that can rock your socks off. Lewis's great vocals compliment the rest of the bands talent. I can see big things for Firestate, we need more bands that are not afraid to produce quality music. The drumming that is kicked out by Chris, is in prefect harmony with the rest of the band and keeping the whole unit in tune, Rocking!! Refuse To The World is the stand out track to me and could easy be in the charts. Keep rocking guys and all the best for 2012, I hope to see and hear more from Firestate. ”
