Buy White Light Parade - We Start Fires [Single] From Amazon.com

The second single taken from White Light Parade’s brilliant debut album ‘The house of Commons’, takes all the best elements from their first single, and then notches the quality up another 60%. ‘We start fires’ is a fantastically defiant anthem that only proves goes to prove further why the Bradford- based band deserve to be massive.

The song begin with punchy distorted guitar chords, with lead vocalist Danny Yates tearing into them as he and the band almost militantly shout through the opening ‘we start fires on a Saturday night’.

The song builds into an epic combination of ferocious pop-punk power chords complete with manic drum beats and gutsy vocals. Like the bands previous single ‘Wake Up’ this track is dangerously catchy and will stay in your head long after your first listen.

Angst-guitar driven songs like White Light Parade produce can go two ways: they can either be brilliant little pieces of pop-rock, or they can result in cheesy messy excuses for a song. Luckily for the band they have delivered another anthem that takes all the best bits of Early Oasis, a bit of the Sex Pistols (possibly a hint of Blink 182) and repackages the sound for the 21st century.
