	'''Trial by Fire''' was a Chicago punk band that performed from Autumn [[1981]] to Autumn [[1982]], after the demise of [[Strike Under]]. All of the members, [[Pierre Kezdy]], [[Chris Bjorklund]] and [[Bob Furem]] had been in Strike Under. ~~In a now defunct post on her message boards, [[Marie Kanger]] said that~~ Trial By Fire did not ~~offically~~ release any records though they ~~did~~ record ~~an album~~'s ~~worth~~ of ~~material. Note~~ that ~~this~~ Trial By Fire ~~has absolutely nothing to do with~~ the ~~current band~~ of the ~~same name on Jade Tree Records~~.

Trial By Fire did not officially release any records duiring their lifetime though they recorded a 9 song demo in December 1981 and a full record in April 1982. In [[2017]] their record from the 1982 recordings was finally given a proper release by [[Alona's Dream Records]]

			Just about anyone who saw Trial By Fire live or heard their (at the time ultra rare) recordings back then said that they were a special band. Many call them the first true hardcore band from Chicago. Even today people who were part of the scene in 1981/1982 say that Trial By Fire was one of the best bands of the Chicago Punk era.
