For A Million Little Fires, the music started in 2016 but life, as always, got in the way. Other endeavors forced a hiatus until frontman Jay Douglas returned to the studio in 2022. The “reimagining” of a collection of older songs was utilized to knock the rust off. This collection became the “Sanction’d” album and was released in March of 2023.
The passion then found its way into brand new music. AMLF emerged with some of its most intense, catchy, and emotional songs to date. “My favorite bands love to bounce around their respective genres” says Jay. “They don’t just write the same song over and over.” AMLF focused on drawing elements from rock, metal, pop, electronic and even classical music. Creating sweeping melodies and electronic programming, the band balanced them against riffs and breakdowns ranging from energetic to downright brutal. Jay also put more of himself into his lyrics than ever before, allowing the walls to completely break down.
