Memphis May Fire

by Eduardo Rivadavia
Memphis May Fire hails from Dallas, Texas, having formed in December 2006 when Chase Ryan (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar and vocals), Ryan Bentley (guitar), Austin Radford (bass), and Jeremy Grisham (drums), came together to write songs for an EP. Signed to Trustkill early the following year, on the strength of said eponymous EP (later reissued by the label), the group immediately began to work on new material for a long player, while honing their very intricate blend of hardcore, metal and emo on stage.
