-->"Greek Fire is a mission to capture the attention of a rock deprived generation. A mission to re-vitalize the spirit of rock music in all of its purity and greatness. A mission to create uplifting, soaring music for those who need it now more than ever. Greek Fire is composed of four young men from the planet Earth, each sharing an extreme passion for their respective instruments. Greek Fire is about purity and expression, poetry and mystery, the beauty of the journey. Faith in something greater, a quest into the unknown, a connection with the fire within. Embracing the power of words, the beauty of the guitar riff, the energy created through real rhythm, Greek Fire is a quest to resurrect the greatness of rock music for those who want something more. Natural melodies and rhythm with no cover ups, no pitch correction, no splicing and dicing it to perfection, just the spirit of that natural and attitude-filled first take. We invite you to the ride."

'''Greek Fire''' is an American rock band originating in St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 2008 by Story of the Year guitarists Philip Sneed and Ryan Phillips, and Maybe Today members Johnny Venus and Mark Joseph Roth. The band was largely unknown outside the St. Louis area until late 2014, when their rock anthem "Top of the World" made an appearance in the trailer for ''Disney/BigHero6''. Their music is heavily inspired by classic 1970's and 1980's arena rock and power metal acts, and their sound has been compared to everything from {{Music/U2}} to {{Music/Black Flag}}. In the band's own words:
