The Fires Of

thefiresof@gmail.com The Fires Of is a collective of Canadian musicians that thrives on bringing joy and melody to the people with their infectious brand of indie-pop and high-energy live shows. The Fires Of have steadily been incorporating new sounds into their music, cultivating a fan base that heartily embraces their diverse rock ‘n’ roll sound.

Founded in Toronto circa 2008, the band originally met as Ultimate Frisbee players competing at both the national and international level; not the usual stomping grounds for a rock band. The members of The Fires Of are Graeme Donnelly (“The Eerie One”, vocals and rhythm guitar), Lisa Di Diodato (“The Delightful One”, vocals and bass), Steve Canning (“The Precocious One”, lead guitar), Peyton Leung (“The Ravishing One”, violin and percussion) and Greg Heard (“The Sesquipedalian One”, drums).

The Fires Of have showcased their sound and energy at historic venues in Toronto, including Lee’s Palace and el Mocambo, at nxne and Indie Week, under a giant tent, on a leaky boat and in an art gallery with an army of Japanese punk bands, in addition to the usual local indie haunts.
