Fire Records

Fire Records is an independent record label headquartered in London, England, UK. Founded in the mid 80s, Fire Records has been a prominent force in the music industry for decades. They have released early records from Pulp, Teenage Fanclub, Spacemen 3, Blue Aeroplanes, and many other influential artists. In the early 90s, the label was home to notable acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel, The Lemonheads, Built to Spill, and Urge Overkill.With a rich history of discovering talent and nurturing their careers, Fire Records remains dedicated to supporting groundbreaking musicians across various genres. Their diverse roster showcases both established names and emerging talents who push boundaries and challenge conventions.

Half Japanese is an art punk band formed by brothers Jad and David Fair around 1975 in Uniontown, Maryland. With their unique blend of punk rock and outsider music, Half Japanese has been a pioneering force in the alternative music scene for over four decades. Known for their raw and energetic performances, the band's influential sound has inspired countless musicians and continues to captivate audiences worldwide. From their early DIY recordings to collaborations with renowned artists, Half Japanese remains a vital force in the world of experimental rock.

With Jad Fair at the helm for over four decades, the highly revered Half Japanese still remain “the ultimate expression of punk’s dictum that rock should be accessible to anyone who wanted to pick up an instrument and play” (AllMusic). Born out of the Fair brother’s lo-fi bedroom recordings of the mid-70’s, they reinvented rock music with their off-kilter view and popular outsider rock. Leading the lo-fi movement of the early 90s burgeoning indie rock scene, Half Japanese’s lasting influence and prolific output has seen them experiment with alternate tunings, chords and melody and in recent years they’ve produced more cohesive offerings. Wildly eccentric and humorous, the energetic Hear The Lions Roar is an art rock record where Jad’s expertly thrown out lyrics remain optimistic and fresh alongside a fierce and compelling rhythm section. Featuring a cohort of past musicians from the 90’s, their dexterous instrumentation brings further depth to Jad’s songs.
