Details:
A band of musicians/filmmakers... Earthy, edgy, harmony-laced alternative rock... Played on over 250 college radio stations... Nationwide tours... Feature film Almelund (www.manfromfieryhill.com/almelund)... REVIEWS of MAN FROM FIERY HILL: "Man From Fiery Hill deserves credit for not sticking to any one sound--or even one singer--on its new album, Magazine Theft Yeah. The band keeps it weird enough to stay interesting." - The Onion... "Man From Fiery Hill is raw and innovative, with an indescribably sublime blending of musical influences. The group travels from the heavier side of rock to lighthearted pop tunes, and hits every stop in between. Jared King, drums; Ben Walen, guitar; Brendan Kruse, guitar; and Tim Walen, bass, all join into the frontman fun and share vocal duties. Their overlapping and alternating voices create a richness rivaled only by the band's dueling acoustic and electric guitars. The band bypasses the predictable hooks and paves the way for a new style of rock--one that's fresh, surprising and addictive. The songwriting isn't done on borrowed emotion and is not pretentious. The band's lyrics are human, smart and sometimes funny, a style that works well with its edgy sound." - Cityview... REVIEWS of ALMELUND: "Who knows? The film Almelund just might catapult Jared King and Brendan Kruse to star status the way Damon and Affleckâs Good Will Hunting script ignited their cinematic candle." - Chisago Country Press... "Watching the new Man From Fiery Hill DVD the other night, I couldnât help but agree with one of the actorâs statements: 'These guys are weird,' referring to the four main characters. However, the band members are weird in, you know, that good way." - STAR Newspaper... "About 15 minutes into this low-budget horror comedy, there's a transcendently pointless sequence that reminds me of everything I used to like about early MTV." - City Pages
