BURN SAND BURN

"A band doesn't always fit into a specific musical category even though it's associated with one by default. Burn Sand Burn often plays with metal bands, but anyone able to listen honestly can hear that these guys do not bother to play within strict boundaries. Sure, there's the melodic, anthemic hard rock in the songwriting, but at that same core of the act's sound is an urgency and desperation more akin to punk rock. And yet Burn is not purely about volume and aggression, either. Inside each of the songs are moments of surf rock's blurry edges, an amped psychedelic flavoring and a tinge of the blues. While those elements could result in an unholy dilettante-ish mess, this threesome has forged it into something refreshingly original in the heavy-rock underground." ---Tom Murphy, Westword
"This 3 piece spawn of Denver, CO gleefully cranks out spunky punk/post punk utterances that twirl tales of melodic indie pop platitudes into a vision of an energetic now." ----Maximum Ink Music Magazine, Madison, Wi.



"Right from the start Not In Reverse is on the move with blaring, yet somehow compassionately magnetic riffs and melodic vocals that take the listener on a musical journey through worldly reflection, addiction, political angst, and love. The persistent theme is constantly moving…just get up and Go!" –National Hum
