Fire in the Field might not be a household name, but they soon will be. The Boston natives have been thrilling audiences in pubs and clubs, as well as Austin’s prestigious South by Southwest festival (SXSW) for over a decade. 

With every album released, Fire in the Field aren’t given the spotlight that they deserve. Their fifth studio album, Resurrect, acts as a double meaning: It’s a reawakening for a band that, arguably, didn’t need it in the first place. ‘Shadow Way,’ a radio-ready banger, comes out swinging thanks to a cacophony of electric rhythms. ‘Egyptian Jukebox’ follows a similar trajectory and allows vocalist Mike Moore to release his inner Anthony Kiedis.

Speaking of Moore, he sounds impeccable; he has the kind of vocal control and presence to command arenas, and the licks to make an audience swoon. The tight relationship between bassist Jeff Badolato and drummer Brad Conant allows Moore to flourish. None more so, than during the soulful excursion of ‘Scandalous Lightning’. Fire in the Field is an impressive, all-encompassing trio, and an early contender for breakout act of 2021.
