History

The guitarist Justin and Glenn went to school together. Glenn had the idea to start with his wife Wendy and Justin a band. Dawn and Phee came after the band. For their first show, the band did not even have a name. Dawn suggested the name " Fireflight " before - but the name Fireflight has no meaning, as the band had betrayed in an interview.

Wendy described on their MySpace page, how stressful and intense was the whole thing:

" It felt like when things were out of control. We had gone through a difficult year as a band with a lot of emotional ups and downs. We basically lived while writing the new album together in a van, and that was for us an incredible pressure cooker. We poured all of our hope, sadness, anger, dreams and fears into the music. "

Their third studio album For Those Who Wait was released on February 9, 2010. Among the singles For Those Who Wait and Desperate music videos were also filmed. The album debuted at # 5 on the Billboard Hot Christian charts - and was also the highest ever chart position.
