'If the rest of the album sounds like this, Ablaze have really earned themselves their rightful place among Australian rock’s finest.' – Wall of Sound AU
After first single ‘Just A Taste’ grabbed the Australian music scene by the scruff of the neck, and the accompanying tour left little to the imagination about Ablaze’s hard riffs, catchy vocals and explosive live show, IT IS TIME.
It’s been many years, 2 EP’s, a DVD, car breakdowns, laughs, tears, hard work, and more gigs both in VIC and interstate than you can poke a stick at, and it’s all lead up to this. Ablaze’s long-awaited debut album is here!
Includes unlimited streaming of No Chaser
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Got caught with an ace hidden up his sleeve.
Nowhere to run, no way to leave.
Fast talkin’, tying his own noose.
He flipped the table, and all hell broke loose.
And there was,
Guns flashin’, glass smashin’
Someone just knocked away my beer,
Swingin’ from a chandelier!
And there was,
Bones breakin’, grown men shakin’,
It’s one hell of a mess we’re makin’
It’s like this whole place blew a fuse, oh woah!
Bar Fight Blues!
Left hook, right hook, barstool smash.
He took his chance to make a dash.
He jumped the bar and grabbed the chips up off the floor.
He just barely made it out the door
And there was,
Guns flashin’, glass smashin’,
Someone just knocked away my beer,
Swingin’ from a chandelier!
And there was,
Bones breakin’, grown men shakin’,
It’s one hell of a mess we’re makin’
It’s like this whole place blew a fuse,
Bar Fight Blues!
(Bar Fight what?) (Bar Fight Blues!)
He loves the feeling when he lets go of the reins,
His heartbeat thumping in his head.
Hooked on adrenaline still coursing through his veins.
He only feels alive when he’s close to dead.
He threw a match to catch their gaze.
They watched their bar go down in flames.
And there was,
Guns flashin’, glass smashin’,
Someone just knocked away my beer,
Swingin’ from a chandelier!
And there was,
Bones breakin’, grown men shakin’,
It’s one hell of a mess we’re makin’
It’s like this whole place blew a - whole place blew a fuse!
And there was,
Guns flashin’, glass smashing’,
Someone just knocked away my beer,
Swingin’ from a chandelier!
And there was,
Bones breakin’, grown men shakin’,
It’s one hell of a mess we’re makin’
It’s like this whole place blew a God-damn fuse!
Like all great things in the world, Ablaze started out as an idea over beers at the local pub, intent on rocking out and
partying hard. The hard rock guitar riffs, head banger drum beats and loin-quivering bass grooves will get your fists pumping and your liver begging for mercy....more

I told myself I'd review when I could pick a favourite song. I still can't really pick one -- it'd be easier to list the ones I like the least, but even they've grown on me to a point where I want to listen to them frequently ("Funky Bonez", I'm lookin' you!). At a push it's probs "I Need Lovin'" that beats the rest -- there's just something special about it.
There's something special about the whole album, really. I love the different influences in it.
Guys, keep doin' you!♡ Ashley

These dudes rock. Nice to hear a younger band doing this style of music so well. (Also: that Jay Alan Goodwin bloke below me is is a bogan who's DADS.) Ted Nü-Djent
