Wildfires formed around early 2009 as The Ghost Is Clear. By the first proper show played (June 7th, 2009 in Moss Point, MS), we had already endured multiple lineup adjustments and an obvious name change. A demo was recorded with this lineup, but not more than a few months after, another durastic lineup change took place, at which point the Qualms EP was recorded with Max Binet on guitar and vocals, Grant Leblanc on bass and vocals, Dave Graeff on guitar, and Jeremy Randazzo on drums.
