FIREHOSE
Fromohio is the group's inspired third album released in 1989.
STAFF COMMENTS
Laura says: One of my favourite albums of all time, similar to it's predecessor If'N, it melds folk / country with the tight musicianship and punk ethos of Mike Watt and George Hurley's previous band The Minutemen along with unusual almost jazzy time signatures and fluid, funky bass. Their sound was hard to define: a little too angular and at times folky to fit with the grunge scene that was rising up around them, put too rocky for the country folk scene. In some respects If'N and fROMOHIO were ahead of their time, as a few years later, the release of Uncle Tupelo's "No Depression" LP would kick start an explosion of alt-country / Americana bands who were much closer to their sound.TRACK LISTING

Following the death of D Boon, ex-Minutemen, Mike Watt and George Hurley formed fIREHOSE along with George Hurley. If'n is their second album, originally released in 1987.
By this their second album, they'd really found their sound. Of course they still maintained the punk energy and tight musicianship of The Minutemen, but now included a folk / country influence, angular jazzy time signatures and funky basslines, creating a sound like nothing else around at the time.
