Nitefire

Nitefire, led by Nico Geyer and Luke White, formed within the grassroots music scenes of the East and West Coasts. The band’s early development involved playing shows under various names and exchanging demos across different cities. A significant period in their formation occurred during the pandemic when they resided in Marilyn Manson’s former residence in the Hollywood Hills. This environment contributed to the refinement of their musical style. Subsequently, the band moved to a house adjacent to friends, a decision that proved instrumental in their trajectory, enabling them to host larger, multi-venue shows.

Nitefire officially includes Nico Geyer, Spider White, Noah “Champ” Davies, and X. Their musical approach is described as delivering emotions of fear, being in trouble, and dread to listeners. The band’s name is derived from the 007 video game “Nightfire.” Their song “Feeling” gained considerable attention, with the music video for it being self-directed and shot by Nico Geyer due to budget constraints following a previous video production for “LA’s Got Gorgeous.” This self-produced video was subsequently recognized at a Berlin Music Video festival.

Nitefire continues to expand its reach and influence within the music industry. Their presence on Concord Records signifies a progression from their DIY origins to a more established platform. The band’s work, including tracks like “Uptight,” which is conceptually centered on Los Angeles, demonstrates their thematic songwriting. They identify the purpose of music as being primarily for enjoyment rather than serving a specific utility, reflecting a direct and unpretentious approach to their artistry.
