Search - Fireball Ministry :: Fireball Ministry

From the beginning, Fireball Ministry have aggressively
steered clear of all manner of trends and cliques, opting
instead to follow the rock n roll heart that has been the core
for over a decade. Their analog-soaked, bottom-heavy swirl
of tunes that tips a hat toward the best of the past without
sounding like a mere retread or novelty. Famously
described as Sabbath partying with Priest and Grand Funk
Railroad, there s no nonsense in the Fireball camp.
They don t have a schtick. They don t have a gimmick. The
Reverend James A. Rota II (guitar, vocals), Emily J. Burton
(guitar), John G. Oreshnick (drums) and Johny Chow (bass)
have flown the flag for authenticity for a dozen years. And
with their fourth (and best) album, titled simply Fireball
Ministry, the foursome shrugged-off any preconceived
notions of their own. Produced by Andrew Alekel, Fireball
Ministry is a triumph of will from a band who knows exactly
what they are... and exactly what they are not.
A clandestine and subversive cadre of true-believers from
all walks of life have spread the good word about Fireball
Ministry since they relocated from New York City to
Hollywood, where the band has mooched a brew or three
from the rich and famous without losing themselves or their
sound. Folks with a radar for a righteous rock show and low
tolerance for the insincere Dave Grohl, Kat Von D. and
Bam Margera, to name a few will sing the band s praises
without prompting.
Fireball Ministry was produced by Andrew Alekel (QOTSA)
and recorded at Grandmaster Records in Los Angeles.
