History
Established in 2007, Quest for Fire dedicated a year to rehearsals before beginning local performances and embarking on a Canadian tour in 2008, which included supporting Black Mountain. Their track Storyboard secured a position on the !Earshot National Top 50 chart that same year.
The band launched their eponymous debut album in 2009 through The Storyboard Label and Tee Pee Records, presenting six lengthy stoner-rock compositions that garnered varied critical reception. Their sophomore release, Lights from Paradise (2010), showcased a shift toward more reflective and orchestral sounds. In November 2010, the single "Set Out Alone" reached number one on CBC Radio 3's The R3-30 countdown.
Quest for Fire officially ended their run on January 1, 2013, with their farewell show taking place in Toronto the following month.
