In March 2011, Brett Scallions started a new band called World Fire Brigade. The group was a writing team of Brett Scallions, Eddie Wohl, and Sean Danielsen of Smile Empty Soul Sean Danielsen. Scallions and Danielsen shared vocal duties, Danielsen played the guitar parts, Scallions played the bass, and Ken Schalk performed all drum tracks. Guest guitar solos were contributed by Rob Caggiano of VolBeat, Andy Andersson who played with Scallions in Fuel during the Puppet Strings era, and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam.
