On the advisement of someone whose musical opinion I hold in high regard, I listened to Fireworks Over London.

My first thoughts were, “WOW! This is why I take advice from musical geniuses.”

Fireworks Over London may be the best band you have never heard of. If nothing else, they win the coolest band name award.

Fireworks Over London is a four piece rock band out of Nashville that records and does things their way; an admirable quality in a world full of bands striving for a label deal.

Embers to Ashes is the latest EP from these guys and it is amazing.

Embers to Ashes is six tracks of some of the best music Nashville has to offer. Recorded at Villain Place, the same guys that brought you The Horror Vacui, the EP is well recorded.

It kicks off with the track Embers and, much like the album cleverly implies, it ends with Ashes. My favorite track on the EP is “Beam of the Moon”. It just seems to capture you in that right place. You know, the one right where they want you.

Throughout – the guitar work and harmonies align perfectly. It is hard to compare these guys to anyone. I definitely hear influences that remind me of other bands but they still manage to stand out in a way where I can’t find any worthy comparisons.

If you haven’t seen these guys live, check their website to find out when you can experience one of the best Nashville bands you have never heard about…until now!
