| Nothing compares to the genuine clamor of pure youth. Michael Feerick of Amusement Parks on Fire, now 20 years old, has made a record all his own, on his own, entirely written and performed just before the end of only his second decade here on earth. And it is as loud and artful as it has to be, to drown out this crowded world in 2005. This is not shoegazing music, this is stargazing music, bigger than itself, wise beyond its years, atmospheric punk rock space blues for the 21st Century. Welcome to Amusement Parks on Fire. Hailing from Nottingham, England, APoF’s early demos swayed none other than Portishead’s Geoff Barrow into signing the band to his Invada Label in 2004. No small feat considering Barrow is normally “rock-shy,” yet he was attuned to the band’s sweeping epics enough to realize this was more than just your average rock band, more than rock itself, but a force of its own. A giant sweeping effort, made by one uncommon young man—this was something rare. Feerick is no longer alone in his pursuit. After assembling his band - Daniel Knowles (guitar), Jez Cox (bass), Pete Dale (drums) - Amusement Parks on Fire won over the normally staid UK crowds last year with shows that quite literally blew people away with sheer volume and abandon. Sharing bills with bands like the Secret Machines, the Dears and Kaiser Chiefs, APoF began to build its current legend as a breathtaking live act, the uninitiated staring agape at these lads, wondering where the hell they came from.  | |
