Author: Allen Ignatius Boudreaux III
Black Fire is a trio of Navajo punkers who are basically very underground, very native american, rage against the machine (before Zack Delarocha left).
Except they're better, not because of their music, which was simple, hard, feedback-laden screaming punk rock (plus a small bit of navajo chanting thrown in for variety) and would have been serious mosh pit music back in the day, or even tonight if there had been more than twelve people in the room, all of us old enough to have the "Pits are for kids! I'm too old to slam" mentality.
They're as good or better than Rage because these guys had real live righteous anger, which is something I admire a great deal, and it's always inspiring to see.
People who have the courage of their convictions turn me on.
You could hear the pain and frustration and anger in the music and even in the introductions between songs, you could tell how much this meant to them, getting their message out.
Very earnest, well intentioned, angry, angry, angry navajo punkers.
Oh, and a girl bass player, who was kinda cute but did lots of annoying slinking about and fake karate kick bass-playing stuff, which I could've done without.
