The Fire Restart formed in Seattle in the late 1990s. Their original lineup included Jake "Ember" Carter on vocals, Ethan "Blaze" Jenkins on guitar, and Riley "Ash" Thompson on bass. They released their first album, Ashes to Embers, in 2001.
Guitarist Ethan Jenkins left the band in 2003, replaced by Leo "Phoenix" Crane. Their 2005 single "A Secret Worth Keeping" became one of their most recognizable songs. That same year they released From the Ashes We Rise, which included tracks like "As Written on the Epitaph of Anne Elizabeth" and "Dance of a Thousand Masks."
They continued recording through the 2000s and early 2010s with albums like Phoenix Rising, The Burning Heart, and Unleashed. Other songs in their catalog include "Don't Get It Twisted" and "Fall Apart."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
