The Backfires- FEb 8 - Bowery Ballroom, nyc

Wednesday night at the Bowery Ballroom, the Backfires brought a raw, electrifying energy to the stage, and made it clear that they’re a force to be reckoned with in the Indie rock scene. The NYC-based band, whose roots stretch across both sides of the Atlantic, seem to have found their February groove—this is their third year bringing their unique blend of punchy indie rock to the Big Apple on a chilly Wednesday night. As frontman Alex Gomes wryly pointed out, they first played the city at Mercury Lounge on a February Wednesday in 2022, followed by a set at Baby’s All Right again on A February Wednesday 2023, and now, in 2025, they’ve returned to set the Bowery ablaze again. And despite the freezing temperatures outside, the crowd was anything but cold—dancing, singing, and living for every beat.
