SUMMARY:Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
DESCRIPTION:For Pigeons Playing Ping Pong\, music is a living flame—one d
 emanding relentless tending\, fresh kindling\, and the collective breath
  of community to sustain it. On their eighth studio album\, Feed The Fir
 e (No Coincidence Records)\, the Baltimore quartet—Greg Ormont [vocals\,
  guitar]\, Jeremy Schon [guitar\, vocals]\, Ben Carrey [bass\, vocals]\,
  and Alex "Gator" Petropulos [drums\, vocals]—push their psychedelic fun
 k odyssey into its most expansive incarnation yet. Across 17 years\, eig
 ht albums\, and countless sweat-soaked performances\, Pigeons have maste
 red transformation\, deepening their connection with their devoted fanba
 se and channeling life's seismic shifts into fuel for their unquenchable
  fire. "The ‘fire’ represents our passion\," explains Ormont. "Making mu
 sic feels like something we were born to do. Feed The Fire is the perfec
 t metaphor for our unwavering commitment to keep evolving." Significant 
 milestones\, from headlining major stages to their fan-centric Domefest\
 , underscore their remarkable journey. Feed The Fire shatters boundaries
  through adventurous collaboration. The band invited Nashville virtuoso 
 Wes Bailey (Moon Taxi) to co-write the title track's spiraling guitar ho
 oks—a first for the group. "As soon as I played him the demo\, he came u
 p with the soaring lead melody on the spot\,” recalls Schon. “It ended u
 p being our first true collaborative writing experience.” In another deb
 ut\, Ben Carrey steps into the lead vocal spotlight on his heartfelt gro
 ove anthem “Hit The Ground Runnin’.” Horn collaborators Here Come The Mu
 mmies and West End Blend amplify tracks like “Fantasy” and “Calm Before 
 The Storm\,” while guest producer Chalk Dinosaur enhances the psychedeli
 c layers on “Twitch” and “Underworld.” The band's relentless evolution i
 s evident in standout tracks like the buoyantly infectious "Right Track\
 ," which distills their live energy into a concise message of resilience
  and self-trust. According to Schon\, "Every album we make is a reflecti
 on of where we are personally and musically. For Feed The Fire\, we real
 ly leaned into exploring textures\, pushing our boundaries\, and letting
  the songs guide us." From the patient disco-funk simmer of "Fantasy" to
  the driving rebel cry of "Undivided\," the album showcases the band’s s
 harpened musicianship and rhythmic intuition. Ultimately\, Feed The Fire
  is more than an album title—it's a rallying cry emblematic of Pigeons P
 laying Ping Pong’s enduring philosophy. Refreshingly dynamic\, powerfull
 y resonant\, and irresistibly danceable\, it marks a milestone release p
 oised to captivate listeners across genres. Ormont sums it up perfectly:
  "We've been given the gift of this fire\, this passion. So it's our res
 ponsibility to nurture it\, embrace it\, and spread it wild. Because whe
 n the band and fans reach new heights together\, that's the real spark.”
