If'n

The second fIREHOSE album, released in 1987, a year after the abrupt end of San Pedro’s legendary Minutemen. Mike Watt and George Hurley were reunited once again by the super-enthusiastic ‘ed fROMOHIO’ who chose for himself the unenviable task of filling D. Boon’s role on vocals and guitar. When the stakes are that high I guess you’re going to be giving it 100%, and so anyone who was feeling the lose must have taken some solace when fIREHOSE began recording and touring – sure they weren’t as amazing as Minutemen, but fIREHOSE sure were amazing by comparsion to any other band in mid 80’s America. Groovy alt rock for a skateboard generation.
