Fireworks Announce New Album ‘Oh, Common Life’

UTG’s most anticipated album of 2014 has officially been announced.

Fireworks, the five-piece band from Detroit, MI are thrilled to announce their upcoming album Oh, Common Life will be available March 25 via Triple Crown Records. The band reunited with Brian McTernan, (Circa Survive, Thrice, Balance and Composure) the man who drove the ship on their critically acclaimed previous release Gospel, for production on Oh, Common Life in September and October of 2013. What emerged were 11 songs that make up what is already being called Fireworks’ most personal album to date.

“This is a record of self-realization. It’s all pretty self-absorbed and personal, and it all came from within. When we show it to people close to us, it can get uncomfortable because of how personal and relatable it is.” says guitarist and back up vocalist, Chris Mojan.

“We were able to break everything down when we were writing,” Mojan continues. “I think that shows on the album. It’s complete honesty.”

Songs from the new album will see release very soon. You can view the tracklist and cover art below:
