Firehouse

American hard rock band formed in 1989, known for a 1990 self-titled debut and melodic power ballads such as 'Love of a Lifetime' and 'When I Look Into Your Eyes'.

Reviews note the band's debut (1990), the follow-up 'Hold Your Fire' (1992) featuring 'When I Look Into Your Eyes', the success of ballads in Japan, and praise for members cited in reviews: C.J. Snare, Bill Leverty and Michael (Forster/Foster).

Two reviews on DeBaser celebrate Firehouse's mix of hard rock/hair-metal energy and melodic, intimate ballads. The debut album and Hold Your Fire are singled out, as is the band's continued touring and reception in Japan. Reviewers note a stylistic softening toward ballads in later records while praising musicianship and choruses.

For:Fans of late-'80s/early-'90s hard rock, hair metal and melodic power ballads
