about

Some people make music because they want to, others do because they simply have no other choice. New London Fire frontman Dave Debiak fits into the latter category. As the brains behind the prolific indie outfit Sleep Station, Debiak released nearly one album a year for the past six years, most notably 2004’s critically acclaimed After The War. However, New London Fire is a completely different beast from New Jersey, one that couldn’t be tamed by one man alone. While New London Fire’s moniker was inspired My Chemical Romance bassist Mikey Way, the band quickly took on a life of their own. “[Way] is a really big supporter of the band and asked to play on the next record, but obviously can’t right now because he has other commitments,” Debiak explains. “He asked us to help him get together a Brit Pop band a long time ago and call it New London Fire, but nothing ever came of it. So when this band started, I asked him if we could use the name and he was all about it.” Comprised of Dave, his brother keyboardist Jason Debiak, drummer Nima Shirazi, guitarist Jonathan Lam, bassist Eric Willis and studio collaborator D. James Goodwin, New London Fire’s debut, I Sing The Body Holographic is an album that doesn’t defy genre categorizations—it transcends them. “We may not have anything in common with someone who’s listening to our music, but we’re just looking to make connections, regardless of what genre of music they typically listen to,” Dave explains.
