Burning Love
Songs for Burning Lovers
2010
Moving on from previous bands and projects can be any level of easy or tough, but, occasionally, you have to make the choice to follow up a band like Cursed; a band with more than just a loyal fanbase, these guys are adored by pretty much everyone who's heard them.
Chris Colohan has done a great job of following his old doom & crust inspired hardcore outfit, with Burning Love bringing some kind of Motorhead-like garage punk noise, sounding both polished and cared for at the same time as sounding rough and messy as fuck. Setting off with 'Destroyer Of Worlds', a sludgey garage anthem that clocks in at barely a minute and a half, the record's filled with gutteral, scratchy verses shouted at full pelt & bass lines that tear around like a rusty saw, and, sometimes, even hinting at something a little psychadelic (in that Horrors/80's Matchbox kinda way).
And it's this blending of the growling, distorted bass and the clear, Doomriders-like guitar that make this stand out so much. Second track 'Don't Ever Change' is a perfect example of what they're up to, but it's on the quick-fire tracks like 'Money Shot' and 'The Needle' where this album is at its best, repeatedly defying the odds and squeezing so much good shit in the way of dirty riffs and gloomy rock & roll into manic 90-odd second chunks.
Easily one of the most anticipated releases of the year, not only is this a rewarding listen for fans of Cursed, its also entirely its own thing; far more accessible, and with the songs, riffs and hooks of a fucking great punk rock band channeled through something grim and heavy as fuck.
