Comets on Fire is an American noise rock band from Santa Cruz, California. Formed in 1999, the band consists of *Ethan Miller* (guitar/vocals), *Noel von Harmonson* (echoplex), *Ben Flashman* (bass), *Ben Chasny* (guitar) and *Utrillo Kushner* (drums). They are known for their psychedelic rock sound, drawing inspiration from influential groups like Hawkwind and Butthole Surfers. Comets on Fire's music defies categorization, resulting in a unique and captivating musical experience.

If you enjoy the sounds of bands such as Dead Meadow, Wooden Shjips, Howlin Rain, Bardo Pond, or The Heads, then Comets on Fire will surely resonate with your musical taste. Their experimental approach to music has also drawn comparisons to artists like Oneida, Black Mountain, White Hills, Six Organs Of Admittance and Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound.

Other notable bands that share a similar sonic landscape include Sunburned Hand Of The Man, Heron Oblivion,Dungen,Sleepy Sun,Mammatus ,Jackie O Motherfucker ,ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE ,Earthless,Danava,and Espers.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

2004's 'Blue Cathedral' is the third album from Comets on Fire and their first for Sub Pop. It is also the Bay area band's most varied and richly textured album yet. Their trademark sound is here enriched by more structured, keyboard-driven jams, churning Blue Oyster Cult-ish chooglers and slow burners reminiscent of Harvest-era Pink Floyd.LP+ - Black Vinyl with Download.
