In day eight of 30 days of Retro Radio music... today, we feature one of the great rock-n-roll bands from North Carolina. FireHouse is an American hard rock / heavy metal band formed in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1989. The band reached stardom during the early 1990s with hit singles like Dont Treat Me Bad Reach For The Sky and All She Wrote, as well as their signature ballads I Live My Life for You, Love of a Lifetime, and When I Look Into Your Eyes. At the 1992 American Music Awards, FireHouse won the award for Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist. They were chosen over Nirvana and Alice in Chains. The bands self-titled debut in 1990, FireHouse, was met with much critical acclaim. The band won the American Music Award for Best New Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Band of 1991, Metal Edge Magazines Best New Band of 1991, Young Guitar Magazines Best Newcomer of 1991, and Music Life Magazines readers pop poll Best Newcomer of the Year 1992. The bands first album sold over two million copies in the United States, and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. The bands third and most successful single, Love of a Lifetime, reached No. 3 and sold 500,000 copies. Other singles also charted including the harder-rocking Dont Treat Me Bad at No. 14. The first single from the album, Shake & Tumble enjoyed success on the radio and brought attention to the band, but it failed to chart on the Pop charts, although it did at Metal radio.
