Final Stair are excited to be releasing their highly anticipated debut album Hope today via Sonic Grit. In addition the band will also launch brand new single Fireworks.
Following from previous track Suitcase, the focus track Fireworks “isa song about friendships” as Final Stair say.The band continues“We all (hopefully) have people by our side who are always there for us. We have experienced a lot together. This includes long conversations, boisterous party nights and also this immense joy when you meet again after a very long time. “Fireworks” is a thank you to those friendships and a thank you to our fans. This song is supposed to be a firework of joy and an explosion of happiness.”
The single is taken from debut album Hope, whichwas recorded in the band’s rehearsal facility, where they could dictate their own rate of progress and painstakingly boil down a broad list of influences into the core fundamentals that made them unique. With tracks like Dreamhunter (“a big fuck you to everyone who ignored us”), Never Felt Before(“an old song that represents our grunge roots”) and Morning Dew (“one of our biggest hooks”) touching on the anthemic greatness of Queens Of The Stone Age, Biffy Clyro and The Killers in ways that feel completely fresh and new, Hope will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the finest rock debuts of its year.
When reflecting about the record, the band comments: “We wanted to call this first album ‘Hope’ because it’s a simple word, but to us it represents everything,” explains Istvan. “We’ve been through tough times together. We pulled each other through whenever we were struggling, whether that was from mental issues and depression or other things. The hard times inspired a lot of the music and lyrics. There is that melancholic and thoughtful touch to every song. This is who we are.”
About Final Stair
Berlin is known for many things, though save for a few names like Tangerine Dream, Rammstein and Atari Teenage Riot, rock music hasn’t necessarily always been one of them. It’s something that German trio Final Stair are planning to change, who’ve found great inspiration in the wonderfully war-torn, visually imperfect and often hedonistic surroundings they’ve grown up around. Formed by twin brothers Istvan and Denes Vörös in 2012, with current drummer André Seidel joining in 2016, this is a band who want to celebrate the intoxicating light and darkness around them through thunderous groove and soaring chorus hooks…
The band have honed their craft and built a loyal fanbase in Germany (helped by previous single “Over The Top” being used extensively on the Netflix show “Cable Girls”). The trio will be releasing their debut album, titled Hope, via their own Sonic Grit label later this year. The music was recorded by the members themselves in their own rehearsal facility, a place where they could dictate their own rate of progress and painstakingly boil down a broad list of influences into the core fundamentals that made them unique. With tracks like Dreamhunter (“a big fuck you to everyone who ignored us”), Never Felt Before (“an old song that represents our grunge roots”) and Morning Dew (“one of our biggest hooks”) touching on the anthemic greatness of Queens Of The Stone Age, Biffy Clyro and The Killers in ways that feel completely fresh and new, Hope will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the finest rock debuts of its year…
