New York group wins URB's Team Sleep remix contest
The files were uploaded, the votes were cast, and when the smoke cleared, electronic trio The Fire and Reason had won URB's and Streetwise Promotioin's Team Sleep remix contest. The Fire and Reason turned the album's opening track, "Ever," from a dreamy ballad into a throbbing trip-hop blast, with singer Bella Saona crooning along with Team Sleep leader Chino Moreno. The group has been awarded a Pioneer DJM 707 mixer, a pair of Pioneer CDJ 200 players, a prize package from DC Shoe Co. and one Nokia 3620 phone. And of course you can check out their remix on www.teamsleep.com, the best prize of all. October 2005 Issue Number 130 - URB Magazine

Bio
Bella Saona, lead singer for The Fire and Reason( TFaR) laughs when asked the inevitable question: "Yeah it might not seem politically correct to use the word "fire" for your band name, when you did three years at juvenile detention facilities for setting your school ablaze, but what the hell." It is this edgy defiance that sets apart the stunning TFaR singer from every other woman in the modern rock world. She doesn't just talk the talk she walks the walk.
Blending macabre fantasy with her "believe it or not"� reality, her sound has been making thousands of fans all over the world take notice. With over 7.6K myspace fans and 38K profile views TFaR have become an online sensation. "I guess I could have been considered a troubled child growing up, but I realized I could get more attention causing a ruckus on stage, then on the street or in some institution." The gorgeous lead singer has even walked runways all over the world, appearing in various fashion magazines, and has even turned down offers from Mr. Hefner himself. "I'm all about the music!! The beats, the words, the feeling. I'm alive on stage tempting and taunting the audience."
The sound is up to the minute, and has drawn comparisons to everything from Primal Scream to Gwen Stefani. Steve (formerly of the rocktronica-tribal assault known as Radiate) brings the Nine Inch Nails vibe to the proceedings. The Male vs. Female vocals, sets apart this sonic assault from other groups they are often lumped in with. "Each song has its' own character, and we break up the parts accordingly. I take the sexy, goth stuff, and Steve throws in more of an aggressive edge. We mix and match vocals and lyrics to come up with a complete picture."
"If you listen to what's on most modern rock radio stations, you don't hear many female fronted bands. I think it's time for chicks to start making some noise with the big boys, and I'm just the chick to do it!!"
Having just won the Teamsleep Remix contest, and a feature in URB Magazine, TFaR has added drummer Chris Bielfeldt and Thomas Buchmueller to the live machine! TFaR also just finished being selected and playing the 25th Anniversary of CMJ's Music Marathon! The music industry is starting to find out what thousands of fans all over the world already know. There's a FIRE spreading!
