Divinely physical but not so overwhelming in size that we feel intimidated by their melody, the electrified strings that awaken “Just to Have Someone” are as strong as a tidal wave, but hardly the best part about Wild Fire’s latest single. There’s a radiance in the fleeting introduction to this track that gets me every…

What have you done to me? I remember asking myself this question at a time when I felt completely consumed by the subject of this song… A feeling like I was almost unrecognizable to myself.

FaB (Fitzsimon and Brogan) deliver a fantastic piece of alt rock on the celebratory “Persuasion”.

Every image on your screen is an assembly of tiny dots. If you’re looking at videos in high resolution, it can be easy to lose sight of this.
