Fire EX., iconic Punk Rock band from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was formed in 2000. Their songs are full of enthusiasm and dreams. The band is well known for political activism and their lyrics reflect the current society. Popular tracks such as ‘Good Night! Formosa!’, ‘A Man on the Sea’, and ‘Island’s Sunrise’ made Fire EX. the representative Punk Rock band of the modern times, which they also earned the name of ‘Band of the Taiwanese folks’.
Apart than participating in various tours and major domestic and international music festivals, Fire EX. puts up concerts annually since 2013. The band toured with MONOEYES, a Japanese Punk Rock band for the Far East Union Tour, spanning Taiwan, Japan and Korea, promoting cultural exchange within Asia through the uniting effects of music.
The band started performing at live houses with around one to two hundred people in the audience, with no mainstream media attention and gaudy performance attires, Fire EX. worked their way up, towards the success they have today among Taiwan. Next, they are moving on to take on the world.
In 2015, Fire EX.’s ‘Island’s Sunrise’ was chosen as the theme song for the Sunflower Movement, bagging the much-coveted ‘Golden Melody Awards – Best Song of the Year’ award.
In 2016, Fire EX. released their album in Japan. They collaborated with legendary musicians such as Takeshi Hosomi and Masafumi Isobe, and quickly increased their fame and popularity in Japan. In the same year, they once again performed in Summer Sonic, largest music festival in Japan.
Next year, they released their album ‘REBORN’, and put up a total of 15 domestic tours. Tickets sold out fast, which Fire EX.decided to put up a outdoor concert ‘2016 On Fire Day’ at a baseball arena that holds ten thousand people. All tickets were sold, which they made a successful history that no other independent music bands have ever done before and created a whole new chapter. After achieving this significant milestone, Fire EX. has decided to move forward. After being around for 17 years, they are going to release their first ‘new songs + best collection album’. At the same time, they are getting ready for their annual world tour. Stay tuned for their tour in Hong Kong.
