• “If the  spirit of rock and roll is flickering, no one has told The Blackfires. This insane collective of Brits, Russians, and Americans (North and South) carries the hard rock torch with pride and their live shows burn with the intensity of a white hot poker.” – Brad Tolinski
  • “The band’s high-energy live show has been called ‘a volcanic, relentless assault [that’s] seemingly tailor-made for Ozzfest or Donington.’ ” – Guitar World
  • “…a genuine, earnest hard-rock sound that has the polish and flair to excite any crowd, The Blackfires definitely are a must-see live act. For those looking for great new bands these dudes absolutely need to be on your radar!” – Bowery Boogie 
  • “The Charlton Heston of Unsigned Bands […] Even the most interesting man in the world from Dos Equis listens to them.” – Gotham Rocks 
  • “The Blackfires are a seriously talented collection of musicians […] So do yourself a favor, pick up this CD and make sure to see these guys live while they’re still on the local circuit, because it may not be for long.” – The Sound Live
  • “I came across a great rock band on ArtistSignal recently. If you like rock music, you really should take a bit of time to listen to this band. They have a passion that brings back memories of old favourites like Guns N’ Roses and Led Zeppelin. The Blackfires have become quite a popular live band locally in New York, and deserve much more recognition.” – UK Arts Directory
