“Baltimore’s Firecrackers are here with their demo, make that their long awaited demo. Six songs, fifteen minutes, it was worth the wait. Taking elements of pop punk and old rock n roll and meshing them into a great sound is what the Firecrackers do. Female fronted vocals fronting the band just add to the already great mix we’ve got going there. I highly recommend you check this out; hopefully it’s the start of a string of great releases from this band.”

— Unle Critic

“Inspired by the Beatnik Termites and girl-groups of the 60’s, this powerpop/ punk band will have you clapping with their catchy beats and doo-wopping with the talented vocalist, Colleen. Other band members include Ricky (guitar, harmony vocals), Matt (bass, harmony vocals), and Pat Termite (drums, harmony vocals).”

— Anna Rombro , Baltimore Examiner

“Don’t you just love when you find a band that can make your heart dance and your body rock? Enter: The Firecrackers! Self-described as Powerpop, they would better fit a label such as Popabilly, or Surfpop. There’s no upright and no one is sporting a coiffed pompadour, however the sound is reminiscent of the kind of tunes you would hear at the drive in while you hold your date in your 50’s coupe.”

— Charm City Jess , National Punk Review
