” If‘n ” came to my attention through a comunity radio station which featured underground music. In Texas,1986,radio was controlled by people who thought “Loverboy“was a good band. This one show late at night played good music. You, of course had to live within a five mile radius to pick up the signal. They played a song called “Brave Captain”. I couldn‘t stand it. The beat was so crazy,I just did‘nt get it. They kept playing it,and suddenly I loved the song. I cought the groove. It was somthing i had to find. “Brave Captain” was from their first cd “Ragin Full On”,but the best record is “If‘n”. Song after song of great writing and playing. Firehose is band with a bass for a lead guitar,and unreal drums. This is a record I go back to again and again. Uplifting,and healing are the words to describe this record . I feel the same way about “jehovahkill”. This record is a bit different from the space rock ya‘ll talk about ‚but, well worth the look. Firehose comes from the ashes of the late 70‘s california punk band minutemen. Another band to check out. I cant stress enough the energy,brains,and soul of Firehose. You wont be sorry for buying this record.
