100 Fires formed in Los Angeles in 2003, led by Jesse E. James. Their debut album 'In the Shadow of the Sun' came out in 2006, with the single 'By Reason' gaining some attention. The band's lineup has changed over time, with James remaining the constant figure.
They released 'The Art of Losing' in 2012, an album that explored darker themes. Songs like 'Chameleon Song (Disappear)' and 'Dragons In The Sky' show their mix of alternative rock with some electronic touches. Their catalog includes several EPs and another full-length album called 'Year of the Swarm' from 2018.
James has kept the project going through various configurations of musicians, including at times Adam Kuryluk on guitar, Keelan Bender on bass, and Mike Longworth on drums. Their music tends toward the introspective, with tracks like 'Eloquent Clown' and 'Reading Your Fables' reflecting that direction.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
