Calling Savannah, GA home, Passafire was formed in 2003 by students attending Savannah College of Art and Design. After performing on a stage outside Atlanta's Hi Fi Buys Amphitheatre in 2006 where the hybrid rock band, Pepper, was opening for 311, a member of Passafire slipped to Pepper a copy of the band's self-titled debut album, Passafire.
Passafire released Everyone on Everynight through LAW Records on September 15, 2009. This is the follow-up to their sophomore album, Submersible, which was recognized by iTunes as one of the "Top 10 Best Reggae Albums" of 2007. Their Myspace views are over a half a million with total song plays numbering over a million.
Passafire developed their sizable fanbase by logging miles all over the US (particularly, in the southeast), which attracted the established booking agent, Monterey International who has taken the band to the next level of touring. Passafire has performed with a variety of major acts including The Wailers, Van Halen, Israel Vibrations, 311, Toots and the Maytals, Los Lonely Boys, Bares Hammond, John rown's Body, Matisyahu, the Aggrolites and Dub Trio.

Emerging from Springfield VA, FGC is raising the bar and setting the pace in the local DMV music scene. In May of 2009, they released their first CD titled "We the People." The compilation of music is a great taste of the upbeat reggae style, heavy guitar riffs, smooth bass lines, and meaningful lyrics that the band produces. After launching the physical CD, the EP was posted on all major download sites including iTunes and CDbaby.
