In their latest single, “OUCH!” from their EP The Damage Touches Everything, Growing Fires dives headfirst into the raw, unfiltered emotions of a brutal breakup. With punchy lyrics and high-energy riffs, this Pop-Punk and Alternative banger captures the universal feeling of post-breakup resentment and regret, reminiscent of the angst-fueled sounds of New Found Glory, Sum 41, and Neck Deep.
The track paints a vivid picture of two people who’ve reached the end of the road, hating each other while one is fake and does everything they can to keep up with appearances. The catchy chorus embodies that bittersweet nostalgia for the good times from the other party’s perspective, even when it’s clear those moments are long gone. Lead vocals channel all the pain and frustration into a powerful performance, supported by a tight rhythm section that keeps the energy high and infectious.
“OUCH!” is more than just a breakup song—it’s a therapeutic sing-along that anyone who’s been through the wringer can relate to. With its driving beats, sharp lyrics, and hooks that stick, Growing Fires delivers a track that’s equal parts cathartic and fun. This song doesn’t just play; it punches.

Bio:
Growing Fires is a blazing pop-punk band from Cornwall, Ontario, a place where their fiery passion for music was born and ignited into something cosmic. Just as a star is formed from the intense pressure and energy within a nebula, this band emerged from the tight-knit music scene of Cornwall, their sound forged in the heart of their small-town roots. Like the process of nuclear fusion that fuels a star, the members of Growing Fires came together, each bringing their own explosive energy and talent. Their music is a powerful fusion of high-energy riffs, burning lyrics, and melodies that shine brightly with intensity. When Growing Fires takes the stage, it’s like a star reaching its critical mass—unleashing an energy so intense that it can be felt light-years away. Radiating with the heat of a supernova, they resonate with fans both near and far. Just as the light from a distant star travels across the universe, Growing Fires’ sound is spreading beyond Cornwall, drawing more and more listeners into their gravitational pull. Growing Fires is a band destined to burn brightly, their influence expanding like the ever-growing light of a star. They are a stellar force in the pop-punk universe, and their radiant energy is only just beginning to be felt.
