Cradlefire

About

Cradlefire is an Akron-based alternative rock band that balances accessibility with intensity, blending catchy melodies and riffs with raw screams.

Their songs explore survival, recovery, and hope, inspired by frontman Michael Gallup’s near-fatal car accident.

With a six-song EP already released and a new five-song follow-up in progress, Cradlefire delivers emotionally charged performances that resonate with fans of Seether, Three Days Grace, and Silverchair.

The band’s live energy and thematic depth have already earned recognition, including a second-place finish in the 2026 Ohio Rock-Off.
