(PR) Amusement Parks On Fire has harnessed its otherworldly swirl of soaring guitars, epic-punk power, and pop sensibility for Young Fight, an EP that pairs together two unreleased songs with three previously released tracks, set for launch September 8, digitally via Filter U.S. Recordings. The band will give U.S. audiences a dose of their incendiary live show while on tour opening for legendary post-punkers The Psychedelic Furs and The Happy Mondays.
Originally created in 2004 as a solo project, singer/guitarist Michael Feerick has expanded his rock 'n' roll vehicle into a full five-piece band. Since the expansion, the UK-based fivesome's sound has developed into a heady pastiche that pays tribute to such disparate genres as '70s progressive rock, punk, dream pop and grunge.
The five songs that comprise Young Fight exhibit the band's penchant for bridging these musical divides, occupying a cosmic territory uniquely their own. Their forthcoming full-length is due February 2010.
