Fire Engines
The Fire Engines were a post-punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland. They were initially active between 1979 and 1981. Their first single was the "Get Up And Use Me" / "Everything's Roses", released on the Codex Communications label in 1980, which was given 'Single of the Week' in both NME and Sounds. The band signed to Fast Product and issued further singles and a largely instrumental album, Lubricate Your Living Room (1981) on Fast subsidiary Pop:Aural. They reformed for concerts between 2004 and 2006, and again in 2017. The Fire Engines were an influence on many bands that followed, including Franz Ferdinand and The Rapture, with Meat Whiplash and The Candyskins both taking their names from Fire Engines songs.
