Fire Records is an independent record label headquartered in London, England, UK. Founded in the mid 80s, Fire Records has been a prominent force in the music industry for decades. They have released early records from Pulp, Teenage Fanclub, Spacemen 3, Blue Aeroplanes, and many other influential artists. In the early 90s, the label was home to notable acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel, The Lemonheads, Built to Spill, and Urge Overkill.With a rich history of discovering talent and nurturing their careers, Fire Records remains dedicated to supporting groundbreaking musicians across various genres. Their diverse roster showcases both established names and emerging talents who push boundaries and challenge conventions.

The Adverts were an English punk band formed in 1976. They achieved chart success in the UK with their single "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" reaching No. 18 on the UK Singles Chart. Bassist Gaye Advert was hailed as the first female punk star by The Virgin Encyclopedia of 70s Music.
Known for their energetic and rebellious sound, The Adverts played a significant role in shaping the punk movement of the late 1970s. Their music captured the raw essence of punk, delivering powerful lyrics and intense performances that resonated with fans.
Despite disbanding in late 1979, The Adverts left a lasting impact on the music scene. Their influence can still be felt today, inspiring countless artists to embrace individuality and challenge societal norms through their music.

Fire Records reissue of the 1978 classic debut punk record Crossing The Red Sea with the Adverts.

Released after an ever growing live following and the string of successful chart hits, The Advert's debut has cemented its place in punk rock history. From the sonic Armageddon which ushers in 'One Chord Wonders' through to the deliriously protracted fade of 'Great British Mistake', Crossing The Red Sea never put a foot wrong. Created at the height of Punk, recorded with all the venom and passion which gave the era such vitality, Crossing the Red Sea was at once a statement of intent and a bellow of defiance, a refusal to take anything for granted, even its own brilliance.

More than that, though, the album defined and thus became the precious moment in time when the establishment rules of rock fell away, and new ones still had to be carved out. And by those brittle standards, the Adverts weren't simply crossing the Red Sea, they were parting it.
