Above The City is the debut album by Americanpunk rock band Smoke or Fire, released in 2005.[2] It was produced by Fat Mike under Fat Wreck Records,[5] and was the band's first full-length album. Above the City has drawn comparison to Against Me! and Lawrence Arms, and has been called a "punching sincere punk rock album".[4] The album reached #62 in CMJ's "Radio 100" in 2005, spending at least 5 weeks on the list.[6]
In a positive review, Style Weekly wrote that "these songs run on a maximum of speed and a minimum of time, half of them touring the landscape of America and the other half, the landscape of emotion."[7]
