OUR STORY:
♣   Randy Campbell and Caleb Kallander were a bit surprised when just two jam sessions into knowing each other they had already written their title track song to their future record, Two Worlds; and a world of liquid rock & roll to follow suit. From liquidy, acid guitar solos to soulful, howling vocals, Seattle’s Dire Fire has turned into a cult of diversity, with a feel that is undeniably rock & roll and new wave.
♣   The band’s roots were first laid down in 2015 when guitarist Caleb Kallander met singer Randy Campbell at a blues/folk open mic. Caleb, clad in leather, rings, scarves, and the essential sunglasses, was performing originals and covers from bands such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Alice In Chains, Pink Floyd, and other classic iconic bands while Randy played originals as well as unique and growly covers of Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, and others. 
♣   “I first saw Randy at the Urban Timber. It was, back in.. January? February? I remember thinking.. ‘This cat’s got some lyrics’. He was raw, yeah. He’s a guy I could start a band with” says Caleb, “I’ve played with a lot of incredible musicians, but Randy and I, us two–we have this energy, you know? This undeniable electricity that comes about when we play together. It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced, really.”
♣   The band was soon joined by Dakota Bown, who had first met Caleb at the same open mic, playing guitar and singing Beatles songs. They become good friends, but never thought about playing in a band together until Caleb and Randy had been going for a month or so and needed a bassist for the new band. “It was like jumping onto a moving train,” Dakota recalls, just playing bass for a month or two, “being new to the bass as an instrument was a challenge and a bit intimidating, but having Caleb and Randy there expecting me to do something amazing pushed me to see the vision Caleb and Randy had more and more every day. It’s already been such a trip.”
♣   Following the CD release show, , whom the studio drummer for the “Two Worlds” record, Anna Seymour played, the band was rejoined with the first drummer, young Colton DeCarteret. A friend of Randy’s,  Colton jammed with the guys in the first stages, but had to take a leave for school during the recording process of Two Worlds. •   Now, returning with his incredibly powerful drumming, Colton fuels the immense energy field created on stage that is absolutely Dire Fire.
♣   Although they couldn’t be happier than they are with their devoted fans in Washington, Dire Fire sets their eyes nationally. Following the January release of their debut record, Two Worlds, Dire Fire is planning a tour that will stretch from Northern Washington to Southern California, for just a first tour. “We’ve waited our whole lives for this.” Randy says, “and now it’s actually happening. This is it, you know? This is IT.”
♣   “What it comes  down to for us,” remarks Caleb, ‘Is that we really dig what we’re doing, and we’ve brought a lot of people something they really dig too.” “Exactly,” agrees Randy, “Even without all the success, we’ve met so many people who say 'this is the kind of music I love, why is nobody else playing it?’
♣   We wouldn’t want to do anything else in the world.”
