Mountain Firework Company

<< back

Four guys who at one time or another worked in the same bar in Brighton UK; came together over heartache and wine to create what's been described as "gorgeous folk/alt-country pop - equal parts darkness and cheeky humour" and "a unique mix of swamp-folk and alt country blues". One guy left to drink and follow a woman, two more sorrowful drunk guys joined, and then a third to make six, between them having 36 strings - that's a lot of strings.

"A great lazy country sound straight out of the Ozark mountains after a couple of jugs of moonshine" said one reviewer after the couple of jugs of moonshine they gave him, whilst one lady admitted "could inspire the waving of beer before running down the street naked".

So its onward upon the lovelorn path to the next bar...

The Mountain Firework Company really is a fantastic band. Catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and intuitive and tight instrumentation, it’s lovely, fun, heart warming folk-rock tunes stirred up with a smattering of alt. country.

If you like the Pogues, or more specifically, The Low & Sweet Orchestra (a band ex-Pogue James Fearnley helped form), you're sure to love The Mountain Firework Company.
