Due to the strength of the Worker's Union EP, Smoke or Fire were approached by esteemed California punk rock label Fat Wreck Chords in late 2004. Their debut album, Above the City, was co-produced by Fat Mike of NOFX and was released in March 2005. Since then the band has toured the US and abroad many times over. The band released their second album This Sinking Ship on February 20, 2007. Their third and, to date, final album The Speakeasy was finally released November 9, 2010.

Band Name Smoke or Fire. Album Name The Sinking Ship. Released date 20 February 2007. Labels Self-Released. Music StylePunk-Rock. Members owning this album1. 1. What Separates Us All. 2. The Patty Hearst Syndrome. 4. This Sinking Ship.

It isn't that This Sinking Ship is a bad album. Jeremy's guitar chops are loud and bone crunching, Ken keeps a steady pace with his bass, new drummer Dave Atchison slams out a violent beat and Joe rants convincingly about the state of the world. It just sounds the same as latter day NoFX, Against Me, and other groups in Mike's stable. If the highly crafted production values of This Sinking Ship drives the punk movement these days, than more power to it. But Fat Mike and his fellow label-meisters would do all of us with a long history of punk behind us a huge favor by releasing some in your face, screw everything and everyone music that slaps us in the face with its freshness, and makes us want to slam dance with our wives and children.

The production on This Sinking Ship is noticeably less gritty than Above the City, and someone must have bought Joe McMahon a box of lozenges because his vocal delivery is far cleaner and smoother this time around. Acoustic guitar has been all but eliminated, and there's no full-on power ballad á la "Cryin' Shame" here.
