The Alternative-Rock act Day Of Fire got its start in 2002 when vocalist
Josh Brown, ex-frontman of Full Devil Jacket, returned to the music scene.
Brown has gone into rehab after severe bouts with drug abuse; he began
writing songs again with guitarist + songwriter Gregg Hionis and the pair
began playing in their hometown of Jackson, Tennessee USA, enlisting the
help of guitarist Phil X, Chris Chaney, bass player from Jane's
Addiction and drummer Gary Novak.
The band's self-titled debut album was finally released in late 2004
on Essential Records; the 11-track set broke into the top 30 of the U.S.
Christian Albums chart and the single "Fade Away" reached the
#27 position on The Mainstream Rock Tracks.
Following the recruitment of guitarist Joe Pangallo, his brother Chris
Pangallo on bass and drummer Zach Simms, Brown and Hionis recorded and
released Day Of Fire's sophomore effort, "Cut & Move", in
mid-2006; they supported the record on the road with bands like Pillar
and Decyfer Down and the CD eventually
peaked at #14 on the Top Christian chart.
The two albums sold more than 150,000 copies combined and a few short
years later the band inked a new deal with Razor & Tie, who will release
"Losing All" on January 26, 2010. Day Of Fire has already chosen
"Lately" as the record's first single.
