History
In 1978, Niklas Jonsson played drums in a small band called The Fishers. It was a trio (hammond organ, drums, tambourine) and they only wrote one song together. After a while, in 1979, Niklas teamed up with Robert Larsson to form a new band, which was the beginnings of FIRE. Initially, they called themselves Maxwin. In 1980, Örjan Englund joined in, followed by Robert Dahlin. They changed their name to Spike, which was their name during the first two years of existence. They played one concert as Spike in 1981 at their school in Björklinge. In 1982 they changed their name to FIRE, and in 1983, they produced their first demo tape. In 1988, Robert Larsson left the band, and Örjan Englund played the bass on their last demo tape. For a short while in 1989, a second guitarist, Fredrik Jonsson, joined before the band dissolved in the end of 1989.
