FireBug hails from the hi-desert landscape of Joshua Tree, California. Built around the artistic partnership of Juliette Tworsey and Jules Shapiro, the band blends modern rock with ‘60s and ‘70s psychedelia, blues, folk, electronica, and the soulful roots of New Orleans.
Juliette Tworsey’s commanding voice and fearless delivery have drawn comparisons to Grace Slick and Chrissie Hynde, with Grimy Goods calling her “a vocal force of nature,” and EARMILK praising her “raw, soulful intensity.” Atwood Magazine described her presence as “fiery and fearless,” underscoring the emotional urgency she brings to every track.
Known for their explosive live performances, FireBug has lit up stages at major festivals and venues worldwide—from SXSW, CMJ, and NXNE to performing at the sold-out Sonisphere Festival Knebworth and London’s iconic Dublin Castle.
They’ve shared stages with iconic artists such as Iggy Pop, Iron Maiden, The Cult, Alice In Chains, Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello, and even shared the bill with ‘60s legend Donovan, building a loyal fan base across continents.
In 2024, FireBug teamed up with 2x Grammy winner Adrian Bushby (Best Rock Album – Foo Fighters) to release the powerful single “Red, White and Blue.” The band further recently secured a major sync placement with Apple TV+ for their song “Moment Of Joy,” featured in the upcoming series Smoke, directed by Emmy Award-winner Dennis Lehane (The Wire, Blackbird).
Their music has drawn critical praise from across the globe. Additional accolades include features in LA Weekly, Time Out NY, Elmore Magazine, and Pure Grain Audio.
FireBug continues to grow their presence with timeless spirit, raw passion, and a sound all their own. Their new single "Time Marches On" is a powerful fusion of soulful vocals and atmospheric electronic rock, capturing the relentless flow of time and nature’s pull. Juliette Tworsey delivers a spellbinding vocal performance—both haunting and heartfelt—drawing listeners into a dreamlike, emotional journey. Her voice soars over Jules Shapiro’s textured guitar work and pulsing rhythms, creating a sound that’s cinematic and raw. Produced by Jordan Lawlor (BECK, M83, DEFTONES), the track reflects FireBug’s signature desert noir aesthetic with a modern edge. A visually striking music video accompanies the release.
