Pop Punk band Firestarter are gearing up to set out on a month long tour with Trophy Wives, Nominee and Such a Mess. In addition, they have also announced several solo dates after. Firestarter released their latest EP Forget The Past last May and you can pick it up here: http://firestarterny.bandcamp.com/. In addition they will be releasing a new EP recorded by Jay Maas (Counterparts, Defeater, State Champs).
“Have you ever just packed everything you own, and left somewhere you’ve known for so long and traded it in for the unknown” singer/guitarist Matt LaPerche croons on “49 Stow” – these are the words Firestarter was built on when LaPerche moved to Albany for a fresh start. The group, also consisting of Tyler McMullen (guitar), Jeff Henlin (bass), and Matt Bliss (drums), came together in the fall of 2012. They hit the ground running and haven’t stopped since. In just over two years, Firestarter has released two EP’s – 2013’s New Beginnings and 2014’s Forget The Past – a split 7″ with Orlando’s Old Again, and toured the United States extensively in support of all of them.
