Fires of Cheektowaga is a Toronto-based band crafting a distinctive fusion of shoegaze, psychedelic rock, and grunge. Their sound is richly layered and meticulously produced, nodding to the spirit of both the seventies and the nineties, yet carrying a forward-looking energy that feels undeniably fresh.
For the past five years, Fires of Cheektowaga have been a mainstay of Toronto’s underground scene, earning praise for a live presence that’s quite immersive and commanding.
Their new single offering, Slowburn, brings all these influences together with striking precision. It's a piece that balances detailed instrumentation with expansive, ethereal moments, grounded by melodies that shimmer with sweetness. The outcome leads to a sound that soars, as the guitars cut through the mix, elevating the music toward a cosmic intensity.
