3 (FireHouse album)
3 is the third studio album by American hard rock band FireHouse. It was released in 1995 on Epic Records. It featured a softer sound than their previous two albums, although unlike many glam metal bands at that time, Firehouse did not change its original glam metal sound despite the domination of grunge rock and alternative rock in the mainstream music industry by the time of the album's release.
