Fireworks is an American rock band from Metro Detroit, Michigan. They are currently signed to Triple Crown Records. Their most recent album, Oh, Common Life, was released on March 25, 2014.
Fireworks began in 2004 under the name Bears, hailing from the Metro Detroit area of Michigan. A demo, Can't Hardly Wait, was released on September 15, 2005. They signed to the independent label, Run For Cover Records, who released their debut EP, We Are Everywhere, and 7" Adventure, Nostalgia and Robbery. From there on, the band toured extensively, until 2008, when they were signed by the well-known independent label, Triple Crown Records, home of other popular bands such as As Tall As Lions, Fight Fair, Hit the Lights, and Honor Bright. There, Fireworks re-released We Are Everywhere, and in March 2009, they released their debut full-length, All I Have to Offer Is My Own Confusion produced by Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory.
During the Summer season of 2009, Fireworks supported Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals through America on the Giglife tour.
In December 2009 Fireworks set out on their first European tour, supporting Set Your Goals.
In January 2010 Fireworks supported New Found Glory and Saves the Day on a full U.S. tour. They then toured Australia with New Found Glory in April as support alongside Hit The Lights before their own headlining tour of the country.
