Howdy folks…this summer is going to be nuts, as well as the rest of the year!
Soooo much music to play!  New Records as well!  I’ve managed a musical hat trick so far…we’ll see what else happens.
As always..thanks for the support and come see a show.

BIRDS OF PREY
The Hell Preacher is out now on Relapse Records

Here’s what the kind people at Relapse and Earache Records have to say.

BURNT BY THE SUN
Another new song is up!  www.myspace.com/burntbythesun

Burnt By the Sun has returned with the staggering new and final album Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness clearly stands head and shoulders above the band’s renowned catalogue. Every aspect of this legendary band has been pushed to the limit: crushing riffs rain down like cement blocks, drums explode like gunfire and strident vocals howl against a modern dystopian society that besets us all, echoing the music’s sonic sentiment. Heart of Darkness is both the heaviest Burnt By The Sun record, and stacked with the band’s most memorable songs to date such as Inner Station, Cardiff Giant, Rust | Future Primitive, and The Great American Dream Machine. Burnt By the Sun saved their best for last.
