Ignition

Original roots rock with strong blues and R&B influences, in the tradition of Southern artists such as Sean Costello, Col. Bruce Hampton, the Wood Brothers, JJ Grey and Mofro, and Otis Redding and the Stax house band. You'll never believe these guys were 14 and 16 years old when they recorded this album. It's all them, every bit of it. 'Ignition' is Frets on Fire's second full-length album of original songs. These tunes showcase this band's growth in the craft of songwriting and performance, with tunes that last. Their music has a vintage and soulful vibe but with the clear and unique voice of teenagers expressing their own perspective on the joys and anxieties of coming of age in the 21st century. 'Those guys are a force of nature.' -- Feature story on CNN HLN, July 24, 2013.
