Looking for something

Toronto's Quest For Fire got to be the psychedelic sandwich meat between the hardcore multigrain bread of Coliseum and Asile. I always like it when bands on a bill have a variety of sound, but I think a large chunk of the audience was a bit nonplussed by their presence. I was not one of those people, since the band's two albums are big favourites of mine.

I am intrigued by singer-guitarist Chad Ross's neck-thru custom Strat. Last time I saw Ross, he was playing bass with The Deadly Snakes.

Ditto for other guitarist Andrew Moszynski, though if I recall correctly he was playing drums and going by the name Andrew Gunn. Josh Bauman plays bass.

Drummer Mike Maxymuik comes from Cursed.
