在2006年Fireflight全美發行《The Healing of Harms》專輯之前，曾經自己發行過一張專輯及一張EP。這支樂隊曾經多年巡演，被喻為“永不疲憊的馬路戰士”。他們都是直率的搖滾人，這支來自陽光之州佛羅里達的樂隊在現場表演中不乏剛硬力作。吉他手Justin Cox說：“我們的音樂盡可能的重，但并不是金屬”。樂隊創作的自然旋律令《The Healing of Harms》登上了Christian rock榜單的 No.1，其中“等待”和“你決定”還成為榜單前10名的歌曲。這支當初由鼓手Phee Shorb牽頭組成的樂隊，巧妙地利用在巡回演出中積累的經驗為《The Healing of Harms》注入活力，而新發行的《Unbreakable》也是他們在旅行路中才思泉涌而寫成的。 Dawn說：“有時候就好像所有的事情都失去了控制。曾經有一年我們過得很艱難，我們的感情起起落落。在寫新專輯的時候，我們基本上就是住在一輛廂式貨車里，就像把我們放進了一個高壓鍋。當你離開自己的安樂窩時，壓力就會更大，寫作的強度也很大。我們在音樂中傾注了自己所有的希望，悲傷，憤怒，夢想以及恐懼。” 而Justin則補充說：“今年，樂隊的每個人都經歷了很多事情，這張專輯確實觸碰到我們每個人曾經經歷的情感歷程。” 在第二張專輯發行前，Justin痛苦地結束了一段長期的戀愛關系。由于樂隊整日巡演，每個人都很想念自己的家人和朋友，而Justin的痛苦使他們感同身受。然而，樂隊找到了一個溝通彼此情感的方法，那就是他們的歌，這些歌曾經啟發了他們自己，現在他們要用這些歌啟發自己的歌迷。 Beginning in 2006, upon signing to Flicker Records after a couple independent releases, Fireflight became one of the most popular bands on Christian rock radio. The female-fronted band's style of rock is fairly heavy, bordering on metal, and is reminiscent of other popular female-fronted rock bands of the time, such as Paramore and Evanescence. The band is based in Orlando, FL, and tours the United States extensively, reportedly performing an estimated 140 shows per year. Founded in Eustis, FL, in 1999, Fireflight are comprised of Dawn Richardson (vocals), Justin Cox (guitar), Glenn Drennen (guitar), Wendy Drennen (bass), and Phee Shorb (drums). The band independently recorded and released its debut album, Glam-Rok (2002), produced by guitarist Justin Cox. The five-track EP On the Subject of Moving Forward followed in 2004, leading to a recording contract offer from Flicker Records. The band's first Flicker release, The Healing of Harms (2006), was produced by Skidd Mills and became a major hit in the Christian rock community, reaching number 37 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. The album spawned a pair of Christian rock radio hit singles, "You Decide" and "Waiting," the latter of which reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart. The band's second Flicker release, Unbreakable (2008), proved even more popular. Produced by Rob Hawkins, it reached number 15 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and spawned another big Christian rock radio hit in the title track. Promoted via the Bionic Woman television series, "Unbreakable" peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.
