Earth Crisis celebrates 20th anniversary of 'Firestorm' EP on select tour dates (NYC this weekend)
by Fred Pessaro
Despite what you may think of latter Earth Crisis (personally not a fan), their first EP Firestorm is a classic of its time. The iconic title track, opening with its unforgettable “chug-chug” open string rhythm, set the tone for so many bands to come, reshaping much of the hardcore landscape in its time.
Now, 20 years later, Earth Crisis are celebrating the anniversary of said EP on a set of dates that include a stop at Santos Party House on July 14 with Shai Hulud (now with Chad Gilbert back in the fold), Thy Will Be Done, White Widows Pact (fka White Widows) and The Last Stand. Tickets are still available.
All tour dates are listed, along with a new White Widows video for “El Marrano” and Earth Crisis favorite “Firestorm,” below.
