Today, they’ll have you missing bands like The Arctic Monkeys or The Strokes” —Earmilk “Genuinely the kind of music everyone should blast in their headphones and sing at the top of their lungs.” —Ones To Watch November 4, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA) – Following the release of their highly-praised debut EP in 2021, transatlantic four-piece The Backfires have returned with their electrifying new single/video “Reflections On My TV.” Accompanied by Alex Gomez’s warm vocal delivery and the track’s bright guitar composition, “Reflections On My TV” signals the group’s growth since their debut. Listen to “Reflections On My TV” HERE Watch “Reflections On My TV” HERE “‘Reflections On My TV’ deals with how a former lover or friend can haunt you, reflecting in all aspects of your life,” the group shares of the track. “It’s got the uncomplicated glamor of a guitar song that feels true to the live sound we’ve been developing in New York City since January 2022.” Additionally, The Backfires will join Courteeners on a short East Coast tour run through Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City—making a stop at the iconic Bowery Ballroom. The mini-tour begins on Nov. 10. More on The Backfires: One half deriving from England and the other from America, The Backfires formed in 2018 when Alex Gomez (lead vocals) studied in London, meeting Harry Ruprecht (lead guitar) and Max Wanduragala (drums). The group was rounded out by Gomez’s childhood friend Matt Walter (bass), who joined the band in 2019 before recording their debut EP. The band released Consider the Backfires in 2021, and “COVID” remotely recorded and released their follow-up single “Song 55” later that year. At the end of 2021, the band reunited in London to record their 2022 singles “Blindsided” and “Reflections On My TV.” At the beginning of 2022, Ruprecht and Wanduragala relocated to New York City. The band made their post-pandemic debut at a sold-out show at Mercury Lounge in New York City and went on to play The Bowery Ballroom in August of this year.
