Bio


Since 2009, Firestarter '82 combines the influences of '80s power thrash, NWOBHM, NES tunes and countless other sub-genres to create an epic powerhouse of '80s-influenced heavy metal. Firestarter '82's line-up was completed in late 2011, and in early 2012, we exploded onto the stages of West By West Music Festival; thus marked the beginning of our journey to rock your worlds, one lick at a time!

Since then, the band has stoked the fires in crowd-goers at multiple venues throughout the Austin music scene and currently continuing to spread its trail of flames to neighboring cities, such as College Station and San Antonio! Sooner or later, we hope for the tongues of our whirling inferno to be felt around the globe! Without you, we are but ashes in the gale.

On Feb. 23rd, 2013, Firestarter '82 celebrated their one-year anniversary of rocking worlds as the trail of flames returned to the stages of Marjorie~Daw for another WXWC Music Festival with strings wailing, vocals screaming and flaming whips cracking. As of mid-2014, Firestarter '82 is in the 2nd phase of progression, which includes finding a band manager, touring, merchandise, recording a full LP, and more.

So far, we have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of Michael Angelo Batio, PHILM, OHM, Anvil and Satan; and are constantly looking to expand our repertoire with bigger and better showcases and live acts.

Stay tuned as the Firestarter '82 saga continues!
