"Shining spotlight on From Skies of Fire (interview)"

With Pointfest approaching, many fans look forward to the mainstream musicians making their way to St. Louis once more, but others anticipate the hidden gems of the local music scene who annually kick off the show.

From Skies of Fire has done just that, and their drummer Sam Krug talks about how the band got together, playing Pointfest and their upcoming EP. - Kari Williams - insideSTL


"Pointfest announcement show"

From Skies of Fire took the stage. Having not seen them before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they immediately proved their worth. Every song showed how much effort these guys put into their music, and their stage presence was much better than I expected. Their second song was a new one, and the next two were from their EP. Each song lead singer Jon Berg belted out was met with resounding approval from the crowd—and rightfully so. From Skies of Fire closed their set with “Jungle Fever Blister,” getting the crowd pumped for Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights and Last Nights Vice. - Kari Williams - insideSTL

Bio

From Skies Of Fire has one simple philosophy; to provide a great live experience, and to hook listeners with catchy and accessible rock music. After being together for 3 years, this outlook has created waves amongst the St. Louis local scene, and the band continues to spread the word by playing shows across the entire state of Missouri; and there are no intentions of stopping there.

FSOF consists of "Dirty" Rob Conyers on guitar, Jake "Obbey" Woodworth also on guitar and backing vocals, Sam "Boots" Krug on drums, Scott Conyers on bass, and lead vocalist Jon Berg. This solidified lineup has opened for national bands such as Street Sweeper Social Club, Psychostick, and Greek Fire. FSOF have also played sold out shows with local heavyweights Brookroyal and Killer Me Killer You. The band has currently played 3 of the last 4 Pointfests, which is one of the largest festivals St. Louis has to offer, playing with the likes of many bands from Cake and Bush, to Coheed and Cambria and Papa Roach amongst many others.

The band recorded their first E.P. throughout 2010, and was officially released in June 2011. The "No Coast" E.P. is a great reflection of the hard work and dedication that went into the recording sessions. The title of the E.P. is a nod to the landlocked St. Louis area, and is also a statement; FSOF will continue to keep spreading the word and taking the stage anywhere possible to do what they love. Included on this recording are fan favorites such as "Under the Gun", "Lost and Never Found", and the 105.7 the Point local show staple "Into the Blue" (formerly known as The Shame).

From Skies of Fire's simple philosophy will continue to be enforced throughout the rest of 2011, with a return trip booked in Springfield, MO, and a free show at the University of Rolla. With no intentions of slowing down, there is nothing but excitement and curiosity as to what big things the year 2012 will hold.
