About Fire

Best known for their eccentric pysch-pop nugget "Father's Name Is Dad," Fire was a British rock combo active between 1968 and 1970. Though largely ignored in their time, they have nonetheless become a critically lauded cult band with an influential legacy that belies their brief existence. Despite having a unique sound, quality material, and the early support of Apple Records' publishing arm, neither their early singles or 1970 concept album, The Magic Shoemaker, managed to chart and they disbanded shortly after its release. Fire's original lineup later reunited in the mid-2000s to perform a live version of their lone album, and their entire catalog was subsequently archived on the 2021 release Father's Name Is Dad: The Complete Fire.
