Fountains and fluorescent lights...

What a wonderful song that is. I also have a friend who was in a bad car accident, and when she got hit, she was listening to Pride War. Just a random detail I never forgot, and I always think of her when I hear this band.

oh yes, Chris Carrabba's original band

i get chills everytime i listen "snowbirds and townies".

How To Start A Fire is one of my all time favourite albums

The Moon Is Down will always be my favourite of theirs and Chris Carrabbas stuff

My sister first introduced me to FSF. She made me a mixed CD with a few of their songs including "Snowbirds and Townies" and "The Sound". I used to get the chorus of "The Sound" stuck in my head all the time.
I wonder if I still have that mixed CD. I should find it.

Truly loved this band, I saw them everytime I could in Cleveland. Jason Gleason was such a talented performer, and I remember how the drummer had the most minimal kit I had seen at the age of 16. Anyways, I still listen to this band, I don't regret ever listening to them as I do with a few bands from high school here and there. They shaped my musical tastes and each album, with each singer, stood out and had a uniqueness that is rarely seen (because most bands hold onto their singers for awhile), so comparing them is inevitable but also hard to do since each sounded like a different band. Truly miss 'em, these kids today are missing out.

i first got into them when moon came out and snowbirds and townies is STILL one of my all time favorite songs.

"And on these boats ride the hopes of working class boys dreaming of girls from far away points. And better things, like winter flings. Longing after spring has sprung. And they fly north when winter's done. We get burned in summer's sun."

Oh man. It doesn't get much better than this.

Yes, I owe so much to that website.

I definitely feel you on that. I feel like FSF was always a true band. They definitely had their struggles as far as members were concerned, but they ALWAYS put out quality music. They had such emotion that you don't see very often these days. I miss that. They will always be one of my favorite bands.

When it comes to their member changes (especially vocals), I think it shows such a progression. Each album was completely different than the last and each album was simply amazing in it's own way.

The reason I discovered DC. Still have to say I am in love with Gleason's vocals though, despite how wonderful The Moon is Down still is.
