Emerging from the back alleys of the Brussels alternative rock scene, Baby Fire is a trio defined by a rock style which is full of rage, haunted, powerful and refined. Body and soul of the project, the guitar player, Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock, grew up between London and the European capital. Music lover and avid record collector, she did the rounds of the hard rock circuit as well as the great bastions of punk such as the famous London Marquee Club.
One evening at a concert, she crossed paths with Ronnie James Dio, the emblematic voice of Rainbow and heavy metal culture hero, who was temporarily touring with Black Sabbath. He listened to her first demo tape and encouraged her to keep singing.
With her voice firmly entrenched in Baby Fire's compositions, the artist began to shape her universe through contacts with personalities she met at venues in her own country and abroad. Laetitia Shériff, Michael Moya (Godspeed You! Black Emperor), G.W. Sok (The Ex...) and Eugene Robinson (Oxbow) are among some of the artists who have participated in collaborations with Baby Fire, as have Eve Libertine and Penny Rimbaud of Crass. In 2014 'The Red Robe' album came into being in the heart of Dial House, mythic headquarters of the British punk collective.
Baby Fire released the EP A Year of Grace in October 2023 through French label Coeur sur toi.
They are currently working on their 6th album - 'Love Fearlessly' - to be released in 2025.
The trio has been compared to artists such as P. J. Harvey , Shannon Wright, Carla Bozulich, UT and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
