Surefire

Surefire is a Boston based indie rock band which was originally started by songwriting partners Peter Hung and Mike Leone in the winter of 2011. In the beginning, Peter, a 22 year old Taiwanese man, dreamed of becoming a musician most of his life. He took the leap and came to America to make that dream come true. In January 2012 the original duo (Peter and Mike) released their debut full length CD titled "Another Take on the Same Difference" which received significant attention from the Boston/Allston indie music scene. Their typical style of music at that time was post punk, garage rock, indie rock. Surefire has gone through a re-birth since the original release of "Another Take on the Same Difference". Peter was dissatisfied with the direction the group was taking. With a personnel change and changing up the style of music to a more blues rock sound, Surefire emerged with a delightful and refreshing sound igniting a resurgence of a brand new group. Their latest project which is yet to be released "Another Take on the Same Difference 2.0" contains a versatile group of songs that make up this eclectic EP. This single "By the Streetlight" is a prime example of the collective artistry and creativity that this group possesses. This song is named after a girl that Peter saw who was dancing next to a street light in Madrid, Spain. It is about the hardship that current youths have stacking up unbelievable debt at an early age. It is a fast paced electro rock song that will get your heart to skip a few beats. The drums really keep that rhythm of the song pumping with smooth melodic harmonies that capture your attention right from the start. Surefire's music is influenced by the blues and African music. You will recognize certain styles within their compositions that will spark a taste of these genres. Surefire has played many well known venues in the Boston area such as BU Central, Hennessy Hooley's House, and Wellesly College and the Middle East. Although the band just went through substantial personnel and stylistic change, Surefire will not stop until they play large arenas. Now that the band is moving to New York City, new ideas and new environment will most undoubtedly spark yet another growth spurt. Always in the state of evolution, Surefire stays 10 steps ahead and never looks back.
