New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ EarShot Media) Detroit's Fireworks have announced a May 24 release date for their forthcoming Brian McTernan-produced full-length Gospel on Triple Crown Records. The band launches a headline UK tour this Sunday with openers Make Do and Mend, which will be followed by a co headliner with
The Wonder Years on The Manscout Jamboree Tour, featuring support from Such Gold, Make Do And Mend, and Living with Lions. The UK trek kicks off with a special show in which Fireworks will play their 2009 Chad Gilbert-produced album All I Have To Offer Is My Own Confusion in its entirety.
In speaking of the new album, guitarist Chris Mojan says, "Gospel represents Fireworks better than anything we've done in the past. I think it really is the photo for the fundamentals we started this band on. The songs came so naturally and working with Brian (McTernan) pushed them and us to a level we've never came close to reaching in the past. Fireworks Lives."
