History

Quest for Fire formed in 2007 in Toronto. They jammed and practised together for about a year before beginning to perform locally. In 2008 they set out on a cross-Canada tour, [4] including a spot opening for Black Mountain. [5] In 2008 their single, Storyboard, appeared on the !Earshot National Top 50 chart. [6]

The band released their self-titled debut album of six extended stoner-rock tracks [7] in 2009 on The Storyboard Label and Tee Pee Records, to mixed reviews. [8] [9] [5]

Quest for Fire's second album, Lights from Paradise, somewhat more contemplative with some orchestral music in the mix, followed in 2010. [10] [11] [12] The single "Set Out Alone" reached No. 1 on CBC Radio 3's The R3-30 charts the week of November 13, 2010. [13]

On January 1, 2013, the band disbanded. They performed a final gig in February 2013 in their hometown, Toronto, Ontario. [3]
