Firefighter Font

Like a cornered cat, Firefighter Font is the noise a small band makes when it wants to sound huge. The Saratoga Springs trio combine driving beats, minimal instrumentation, DIY ethos and large-hearted vocals in an effort to scare off predators and move bodies. Though sustained by a steady diet of indie rock (Spoon, Cut Copy, Broken Social Scene), Firefighter Font are most often compared to these bands forefathers—Mission of Burma, Gang of Four, the Pixies.

Formed in 2007, Damon Cook (bass), Adiro Patten (drums) and Greg Tebbano (guitar, vocals) regard their band as an axe to be used in case of an emergency. They invite you to break the glass.

Their debut LP, Crash Tender, is due out before the end of the Mayan calender. (read less)
