Fire Sale’s Double Single “The Albatross” Takes On Gun Violence

Fire Sale is a Punk Rock supergroup composed of former members of Face to Face, No Use For A Name, and The Ataris. Their newest 2-song Single “The Albatross” was mixed at The Blasting Room (owned by The Descendents) and has hand-painted art by Mark DeSalvo (NOFX, Lagwagon).

Lyrics for “The Albatross” take on “the difficult issue of gun violence and scream for a change.” The song’s B-Side is “I Remember Damage” featuring melodic vocals.

Singer Pedro Aida says:

‘The Albatross’ is about the frustrating and hopeless feeling we have when we send our children to school and the worry of bullying, bad grades, and drug use have been overshadowed by the fear that they won’t come home at all.

Guitarist Chris Swinney adds:

The Albatross is a song that we have been trying to write since the beginning of the band. If you grew up listening to anything on Fat or Epitaph…it is a huge nostalgic slap in the face.
