The Trophy Fire

The Trophy Fire is a three-piece American rock band hailing from San Francisco, California. Beginning as a studio project in 2008 while songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Ben Flanagan was between tours with his former band, The Actual (signed to Scott Weiland's Softdrive Records), The Trophy Fire partnered with Talking House Records and released their debut,A Lifetime In The Middle Of The Ocean, in August of the same year. The album featured numerous guest collaborators, and compositions written by Flanagan and original co-leader, Jamie McGoldrick - sparking initial interest in the band and seeing them taking the stage at SXSW and other festivals as the project grew into a full-fledged band.
