01History
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, including a spot opening for Black Mountain. In 2008, their single, "Storyboard", appeared on the !Earshot National Top 50 chart.
The band released their self-titled debut album of six extended stoner-rock tracks in 2009 on The Storyboard Label and Tee Pee Records, to mixed reviews.
Quest for Fire's second album, Lights from Paradise, somewhat more contemplative with some orchestral music in the mix, followed in 2010. The single "Set Out Alone" reached No. 1 on CBC Radio 3's The R3-30 charts the week of November 13, 2010.
On January 1, 2013, the band disbanded. They performed a final gig in February 2013 in their hometown of Toronto, Ontario.
