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.
