The story goes like this: MICHAEL FEERICK was 16 when he disappeared into his bedroom to write and play all the instruments on this debut album. Now 19 and with a full band to back him up, he\'s revealed his plan to reanimate the 90\'s fuzz-infused indie rock of DINOSAUR JR, MY BLOODY VALENTINE and SWERVEDRIVER. A product of Nottingham (home of England\'s burgeoning art-punk scene) AMUSEMENT PARKS ON FIRE have been performing their \"ethereal\" and \"incredibly loud\" set across the UK in a charitable effort to prepare the unsuspecting public for their remarkable eponymous debut album.
The album has been released in the UK through GEOFF BARROW\'s (PORTISHEAD) INVADA label and has received remarkable success. Recent Apple i-Tunes - TUNE OF THE WEEK in the UK! Amusement Parks On Fire have been selected by MTV to be one of 50 bands that MTV will be tracking this year.
