Fireflight - It isn't hip-hop...

Something different for all the thriftdwellers out there. Having an open ear for music, we introduce to you Fireflight. A Christian rock band. On March 6, they released their anticipated album Now. We will go over their studio discography including the new album.

I thought this was a hip-hopmusicvideogamegeek blog? Why this?
I personally went through some rough times last summer, while on youtube I was looking for more positive music to get me through it. Coincidentally I stumbled on Fireflight through another band called Flyleaf that I've been listening to two years prior (they are great too), ironically all members of Flyleaf are Christians too. Anyways, the first Fireflight song I came across was Forever which is from their second CD Unbreakable. From there I was hooked and ended up buying all their CD's. I'm just a messenger and would like to let everyone know how positive and inspiring this band is!

More music for the collection!

Who are they?
Fireflight is a christian rock band based out of Florida. Consisting of Dawn Michele (lead vocals), Justin Cox, Wendy Drennen, Glenn Drennen and Adam McMillion (who is a new member of the band, he plays the drums). Amazingly, they are popular in other countries outside of North America as well. In fact, they have Japanese releases of their albums!

The Albums

The Healing Of Harms - 2006

Check out the songs: Serenity and You Decide

Fireflight's first studio release. It's a great debut! A warning to people who are big on sound quality. I don't know if they didn't have a large budget when recording the album. It does sound "muffled" a bit. Otherwise once you get past this, it's great!

Unbreakable - 2008

Check out the songs: Forever and Unbreakable

The follow up album. Unbreakable is what got me hooked to Fireflight. This is an album you can listen to without skipping a track!

For Those Who Wait - 2010

Check out the songs: For Those Who Wait and Core Of My Addiction

Third album, it's hard to explain. While it is a great album, the "sound" of the band did change. It's still rock, but you can tell they changed it up to get noticed by a larger audience.

Now - 2012

Check out the songs: Prove Me Wrong and Rise Above

Newest album, I was anticipating this since it was announced on their Facebook page last year. I'll admit, with their single Stay Close that was released. I wasn't really impressed. When the samples of the songs got leaked onto the internet. I thought the album sounded okay, same themes like the past albums. Then it got leaked to the internet a week early, downloaded it (of course I ended up buying it, it was 2 days late in Canada though). It took a while to get comfortable with the new material. Different? Somewhat. But it grew on me and I appreciate it alot. It's a great album! You would need to listen to this as a whole to understand.

- Happy Thrifting!
