FFormed by guitarist John Goodsall (Babylon, Brand X, Sandoz) and drummer Chester Thompson (Zappa, Weather Report, Genesis) who recruited bassist/percussionist Doug Lunn for a first album, Fire Merchants combine the Goodsall/Thompson fire power with a metallic edge. The guys make a lot of noise, do some fantastic playing and have exciting grooves.

Fire Merchants released 2 cds, and both are very good, and Goodsalls guitars are the main feature. The music is quite heavy and noisy with a Jazz flavour at times and it's all instrumental.
