Smoke or Fire February 14, 2008

Smoke or Fire is a punk band from Richmond, Virginia, USA. Clearly influenced by predecessors like Hot Water Music and Avail, these young upstarts also blend in some additional elements of Americana with their hints of The Replacements and Bruce Springsteen. Fake Problems is a nine-piece indie/pop band from Naples, Florida. The Menzingers from Scranton, PA play "real deal, no frills, punk rock with reggae overtones and a sense of authenticity."
