In Case of Fire

In Case Of Fire - write down that name, you're going to want to remember it - prove themselves one of the best new bands in Britain. Watching In Case Of Fire, you get a similar feeling to watching Muse back in 1999, where despite the lowly venues it's obvious that there's a special talent at play, ready to catapult them to the top of their game. It’s hard to recall a more savage, unerringly brutal debut than this offering from In Case Of Fire.
