A New York four-piece rock band that featured members of
Errortype: 11,
Instruction,
Gay for Johnny Depp,
Into Another, and
Walking Concert,
God Fires Man formed in 2006. Their initial release, an internet-only five-track CD-EP was successful enough to warrant a tour of the U.K. early in 2007. Upon returning, the group signed a deal with DeGoot (for American distribution) and Xtra Mile (for U.K. distribution) and went into the studio to record their debut with
Ethan Dussault and
Brian Virtue. The resulting full-length,
A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun, hit stores in January of 2008. To build a buzz for the album,
God Fires Man released a warm-up EP called the Dark EP in November of 2007. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
