In the sticky heat of St. Petersburg, FL, in the tumultuous year of 2022, a band was born. A renegade crew of audacious misfits known as Caught Fire erupted onto the scene with a raw energy that could melt steel and an unwavering desire to challenge the status quo. Influenced and fueled by the likes of Descendents, Hot Water Music, Samiam, and Cheap Trick, Caught Fire brought forth a storm of sound that captured the essence of their restless spirits.
While their journey was still in its infancy, this fearless band had already unleashed their sonic fury upon the world. In 2022, they gifted the universe three explosive singles, each one a mind-altering experience in its own right. The following year, in 2023, they cemented their place in the underground scene with the release of a blistering split with Rutterkin, an effort that only fanned the flames of their growing legend.
Their live performances are legendary spectacles that send shockwaves through the veins of even the most seasoned rock veterans. They have graced the world’s stage, opening for the likes of Strike Anywhere, Codefendants, Wolf-Face, and War on Women. The energy they exude is visceral, their chaotic atmosphere electrifying. Audiences are left drenched in sweat and awe, their minds forever altered by the force of Caught Fire's sonic assault.
Now, as 2024 unfolds, Caught Fire is poised to unleash their most ambitious work yet. Their debut LP, titled "Nobody's Listening Anyway," is set to drop on Ashtray Monument on October 18, 2024. This full-length album promises to be a testament to their uncompromising vision and relentless pursuit of rock n roll glory.
In the chaotic landscape of rock n roll, Caught Fire is driven by a singular vision. Their overarching goal is twofold: to have a good time all the time and to shred the hallowed grounds of The Fest in Gainesville before they depart from this mortal coil. They yearn for a rock n roll Valhalla, a place where they can forever revel in their twisted glory.
