TYREFYRE: Origins of the Greasy wizard.

It all kicked off in 2022 — Heslop and Shane locked eyes over a burning pile of tyres and decided, without a word, that a band needed to happen. One call later, resident potato whisperer Chaz dusted off his bass and made us a trio. The final piece of this questionable puzzle was Gowing, who agreed to drink with the band regularly and occasionally hit some drums. What started as a week of shitty blues covers, spiralled into down-tuned riffs, wizard lore, farming fables, and tales of illicit substances. TYREFYRE was born.

By 2023, the band had carved out their own lair from bricks, mortar and optimistic building skill. A place to jam, drink, and get loud. Stacks of amps grew like fungal colonies. The jams got longer, the noise heavier, and the songs stranger. Gowing had to be forcibly extracted to play gigs across London and East Anglia, culminating in the birth of HighHorse- TYREFYRE’s own brand of live nights in Newmarket. No rush to record, no interest in rushing anything- every show was a different beast, songs twisted and mutated onstage, never played the same way twice.

Then came Boff-  bandmate, superfan, sound wizard, and wielder of massive fucking drums. With him, the TYREFYRE sound clicked into place like a tank shell in the chamber. Gowing continues to be the band’s spiritual barman and honorary member until the apocalypse.

Now it’s 2025, Chaz switched from potato to apples and the band gained a cider sponsor- Hesketh Cider, clean refreshing cider, made with the finest apples, handpicked from the lost orchards of south Cambridgeshire www.heskethcider.co.uk.

The album’s in the works, but live is where the fire really burns. Expect tone that worships at the altar of Sleep and Electric Wizard, grooves that nod to Kyuss and Red Fang, and lyrics that probably shouldn’t be taken too seriously. There’s no mystery here, we’re not reinventing the wheel. We just like it loud, slow, and heavy.

No theatrics. No bullshit.
Just massive riffs.
Get in. Burn out. Drink Hesketh cider.
TYREFYRE.
