About
Kirby
Label: C&B Records
since circa 2008
The hooks are barbed. The lyrics bite hard enough to break the skin. And the soul of a resigned heart booms out in a powerful voice – far bigger than the stature of the man from which it comes. This is Kirby – and his emotionally, and spiritually captivating, new EP The Good Fight.As the front man of Burlington, ON prog-rock mainstay First Time Fallen – it was the same voice that fended off dueling guitar squeals and thundering bass lines with ease. Riding tempo changes -- like a madman clinging to the final critical part of a plan that has gone horribly awry.
The former leader of a once powerful empire – now walks alone. The ghosts of melodies have been stripped from a maroon telecaster – and now inhabit a converted left hand acoustic guitar.
And the voice that once commanded attention above the frenzy now demands centre stage. And so comes a late night introspective nightmare – devoid of cages and chains to hold back the demons.
The Good Fight is a bold, and often frank, examination of a painful past that stabs in stereo. These melodies of catharsis – in a lilting, albeit somber elegance embody both resolution -- and hope for the path Kirby now walks.
There’s bitter-sweet remorse in the painting of each haunting scene pulled from the ether. It would be overwhelmingly morose – if it wasn’t so god damn honest.
And if there wasn’t a decided attitude of defiance – just facing such raw truth would burn your eyes out.
Kirby takes The Good Fight to the people. With a tours across Canada the empire is being rebuilt. And with dates in the U.S. and Europe in the works – the empire will soon stretch globally. And the voice will become all consuming.
