Punk Rock Supergroup Fire Sale Releases New 2-Song Single

Punk rock supergroup Fire Sale is back with a new 2-song single. With "A Fools Errand" and "We Dance For Sorrow" the band delivers two memorable jams with killer harmonies and melodic hooks. Fire Sale is made up of Matt Riddle (Face to Face/No Use For A Name), Chris Swinney (The Ataris), Pedro Aida (Ann Beretta) along with Matt Morris. The new material was recorded at The Blastroom which is owned by Bill Stevenson of The Descendents. I wrote the music to this song while I was extremely ill about 10-12 years ago. The bassline came about by testing myself, to see if I could still play at all. It has a weird picking style, kind of a banjo-ish thing. Thumb and first two fingers. It’s a pretty simple chord progression, but when I showed the guys, they seemed to really like it. Pedro wro...
