“Luma blends soaring vocals and polished musicianship to weave a complex and transcendent sound – one with an echoic ambiance where guitars flutter in and out, and harmonies gently rise and fade.” (Joe Wertz, Oklahoma Gazette) - Oklahoma City Gazette
“Luma presents a gripping sound and live performance. Luma’s songs have a way of entrancing you and hooking you into the melody and groove.” - Michael Senior, The Daily Oklahoman - The Daily Oklahoman

Bio
Comprised of Hunter Goodman (vocals), Adam Chamberlain (drums), and brothers, Stephen Collins (guitar, keys) and Marcus Collins (bass), Fires of Atlas matches experimental imagination with solid rock sensibilities, drawing influence from such divergent artists as Muse, Arcade Fire, Audio Slave, Serj Tankian, and Pete Seager. The Fires of Atlas songs have been featured on MTVs The Hills and Real World XX: Hollywood under their previous name Luma, as well as receiving spins on over 100 college radio stations across the country. Fires of Atlas formed in Oklahoma City in 2005, released a self-titled EP in 2006, and spent the better part of 2007 playing the regional circuit in Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and New Mexico before taking a touring break in the winter of 2007-08 to focus on writing for a new recording project. Fires of Atlas upcoming EP, set for a summer 2008 release, marks a new direction for the bands sound as they enlisted Jarod Evans (Umbrellas, Graham Colton) to produce the record at Blackwatch Studios in Norman, OK. According to Stephen, On our first EP, we let ourselves be too limited by our influences and by conventions of normal pop structure. Now we feel like weve found ourselves, and were just writing music that we love.
