Hello=Fire - Hello=Fire
Label: Schnitzel Records
Format: CD

intro

Dreadful-sounding punk pop on debut album from Arctic Monkeys-inspired Detroit-based group, Hello=Fire

It is far beyond me that a record label would ever want to name itself after a cheap and awful supermarket item, but there you go. That is exactly what Schnitzel Records have done. Hello=Fire could have come from Holland or Hungary, so anonymous one is their profile name, but in fact they actually hail from Detroit. By the time 'She Gets Remote', the third track on the album arrives, Hello=Fire have decided and settled upon already a stomping and completely indifferent show of tricks. They perform a complete travesty of indie Arctic Monkeys punkpop. Mockpop might be the term to coin in future, perhaps only equalled by Monthy Python before they became aware of it. This is nearly as much fun as watching the weakest link being dismissed. Hello=Fire are reminiscent of of 3rd Division Charlatans and their members should have kept themselves from the scrutiny that an album release will automatically bring about. Toe-cringing stuff.

The Hello=Fire review is the best thing I have read in ages...this made me laugh so hard! So comical that the reviewer should get his own stand up show. Dean Fertita...the man behind Hello=Fire is a genius when it comes to music...Jack White calls on him and so does Josh Homme...when they want someone to play with...these guys clearly don't have the same musical taste as the reviewer. However, the Dead Weather, Raconteurs, Hello=Fire or Queens of the Stone Age never made me laugh...they made me rock out!
