"Starting Fires On A Dare"

"Starting Fires On A Dare" is a seven-song LP recorded at Blue Sky Studios and released by Cole Decker in 2024. It is a very personal and heartfelt album with Southern Rock and Americana Country influences. Beginning with the title track, the songs were released as singles from April 2024 to November 2024. Cole considers this album a reflection of his life up until this point, showing the good and the bad.

It includes everything from heartbreaks to encounters with homelessness, battling addiction to mental health, and dating apps to remembering his youth. Each song has its place on the record and fits cohesively as an entire unit.
