Victoria Fire is a female-fronted alternative hard rock band from Pittsburgh, PA. The band strives to deliver a varietal sound, blending delicate vocals with fiery screams and riff-focused instrumentals. Founding members Kaitlyn Washko (Vocals) and Andy Oddo (Guitar) crossed paths in late 2018 and found that they had a shared vision for a new project. After eventually rounding out the lineup with Oddo’s longtime bandmate Cory Schuster on bass and Dan Moore (2019-2022) on drums, the pieces were in place. The band quickly started writing material and playing shows all over their hometown of Pittsburgh, eventually welcoming new drummer Dean Burlon Jr. into the group to replace the departing Moore in late 2022. Victoria Fire has since shared the stage with national acts such as Elisium, 3 Years Hollow, Madame Mayhem, Actor/Observer, Convey, and Fame on Fire. The band has been working hard in the studio, putting the final touches on their debut EP and will be announcing the EP title and release date in spring 2023. The debut single and music video for their song “Fire” was released on August 26th, 2022. The second single “Let You Go” was released Feb 10th, 2023.
