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 of Toronto, Ontario.[3]
