Steelhouse Appearances: 2013, 2014, 2015
Genre: Classic Rock / Hard Rock
From: Aberdare, South Wales
Born from the valleys and forged in the fires of working-class South Wales, Fireroad are pure rock and roll with soul. With raspy vocals, blues-drenched riffs, and lyrics that dig deep into the human experience, this band has always worn its heart on its tattooed sleeve.
Fronted by the powerhouse that is Richard Jones (aka Jonesy), Fireroad became local legends through hard graft, unforgettable live shows, and songs that hit like a pint glass to the chest – equal parts anthemic and emotional.
Their sound has been likened to a cross between Springsteen, Thunder, and a punchier The Gaslight Anthem. If you were down the front at Steelhouse, you felt it.
(Note: Line-up has had some changes over the years, but this was the core Steelhouse-era setup.)
Their debut – passionate, poetic, and powerful.
Before the Matinee, Second Hand Soldier, Flesh, Blood & Bones
Capturing their electric on-stage energy across the valleys and beyond.
A proud homecoming and breakout moment. Fireroad opened hearts and ears, showing they could hold their own with the big guns.
With a growing fanbase, they returned with swagger and songs that felt like Steelhouse anthems in waiting.
Now practically house band status – the crowd knew the words, and Fireroad delivered with one of their tightest sets to date.
Forum Rating: ★★★★★
Most Likely To: Make you cry into your pint and then raise it high
Bring ‘em back? Absolutely. The mountain misses its sons.
