Creature Canyon Fans the Flames in Music Video for “Faded Fire”

By Margaret Adams

San Diego-native band Creature Canyon has released the official visualizer for their new single “Faded Fire,” a reflection of a relationship that is slowly burning out. This is the band’s fourth single of the year, following the release of their previous singles, “Mirrors,” “Pressure,” and “Simulator.”

The California pop-rock band encapsulates the fiery energy of alternative rock with waves of modern psychedelia with the help of members Austin Steele, Ryan Amyot, Kyle Victoria, Aaron Lund, and Luc Fralic. Known for their captivating live performances, Creature Canyon has received recognition from Billboard, Paste, and many other publications. The band has worked with producer Christian Lum (Private Island), recording engineer Mike Schuppan (Foster The People, Young the Giant), mixing engineer Jordon Silva (Vance Joy, The Avett Brothers), and mastering engineer Brian Lucey (Cage The Elephant, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys) on their new record.

The video features Creature Canyon vocalist Austin Steele in a bright, multicolor filter; the single is a groovy production with elements of funk and R&B even as the lyrics hint at the rift in the relationship.

Faded fire
We’re living separate lives
We’ve been burning out slowly
Sure as hell 
Won’t make it through the night 

Steele shares with us “At the time we were writing ‘Faded Fire’ I was contemplating my relationship. Despite us still having strong feelings for one another, we felt like strangers living completely separate lives. It wasn’t because of any particular reason, it just felt that our passion for each other had seemingly faded.”

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
