Smoke or Fire come from the bountiful punk scene of Richmond, Virginia, and they do the city proud. Originally and from Boston, the guys moved south of the Mason-Dixon cuz shit was cheaper and the bands were better.
Move ahead many months where Fat Mike heard an unfinished record, showed interest, offered to release their debut full length, took them to the Punk Rock Bowling Tournament...and ta-da, their first album is finito and they call it Above The City. It's all academic from there folks, you can expect to see these youngsters in your town soon enough as they have tours planned with labelmates Against Me and The Lawrence Arms. Until then, you'll have to settle for the sweet sounds of their record, Above The City!
