Biography

In the spring of ‘94 four friends are talking about their mutual interest: Hardcore Music. They decide it’s time to start their own band, playing music they love. One week later Wyb (guitar), Patrick (vocals), Frank (bass) and Richard (drums) get together for their first rehearsal. From then on they are known as Backfire!. In the following weeks they write their first couple of songs, and record them on their first demo titled “The Last Time”. The reactions are unanimously positive, and when German label “Lost & Found” get their hands on a copy of the demo they decide to offer Backfire! record deal. After weeks of delay Backfire!’s first recording “Who Told You Life Is Easy?” is released in October ‘95. They start playing their first shows all over Holland, and Belgium alongside hardcore legends like Warzone, Madball and 25 Ta Life. Soon their reputation is set. Less than 6 months later Backfire!’s first full-length CD “Rebel 4 Life” is released. Impressed with the quality of “Rebel 4 Life” New York hardcore legends Warzone ask Backfire! to support them on their 6 week European tour. At the end of their tour Backfire! have a disagreement with “Lost & Found”, and the band decides to leave the label and look for a new record deal. Several labels show interest in Backfire!, and they finally sign a deal with “Kingfisher Records”, and a couple of months later they are in the studio to record their second full-length album “All Bets Are Off”, which is released in September ‘97.
