Her Head's On Fire

Her Head's On Fire is a powerful indie/post-hardcore band featuring members from respected acts like Garrison, Small Brown Bike, The Bomb, and Saves The Day. Fronted by Sid Jagger (aka Joseph Grillo), known for his work in Garrison and Gay For Johnny Depp, the group blends fiery, emotive post-hardcore with indie rock melodies that channel the spirit of ’90s emo and post-hardcore pioneers such as Samiam, Superchunk, and The Get Up Kids. Their debut album, *College Rock & Clove Cigarettes* (2022), set the tone for their anthemic and heart-seeking sound, and their follow-up *Strange Desires* (2024) further explores poetic and emotional depths, touching on personal loss and human vulnerability, all wrapped in smart, literate songwriting.

Produced with the help of industry veterans like John Agnello and Jason Narducy, *Strange Desires* features a wall-of-sound indie rock style that incorporates elements ranging from late 80s New Wave to early 90s indie and post-hardcore. The band’s music is marked by both sonic heft and emotional resonance, with standout tracks like “Cuts,” “Aren’t I the Champion,” and “The Rain” showcasing their intensity and thoughtfulness. With releases like their split with Arms Like Roses and a growing discography of singles and albums, Her Head's On Fire continues to forge a compelling presence in modern emo and indie rock circles.
