"Firewater" is also a term coined by Native Americans referring to the method used to demonstrate alcoholic proof

Firewater is a rock music group founded by Tod A. in 1995. He describes them as a "wedding band gone wrong".[1]

After Tod's earlier group, Cop Shoot Cop, dissolved, he quickly regrouped and formed Firewater to explore the kinds of music Cop Shoot Cop had only hinted at, including klezmer, cabaret, ska, jazz and gypsy forms.

Firewater have released five albums, and have seen some success, especially in Europe and on United States college radio stations.

Their latest album, Songs We Should Have Written, is a collection of cover songs. It includes songs written by Robyn Hitchcock, The Rolling Stones ("Paint It Black" reinterpreted as a crawlingly slow raga which "shove(s) a few downers down the song's throat to counter the original version's adrenaline-fueled fire" [2]), and a "dark and sweet" take of Sonny and Cher's "The Beat Goes On", described as "10 times more ominous and 20 times more pleasurable" than the original.
