To the uninitiated, Burning Love is a group from Toronto with a chip on their shoulder and electric blood in their veins; their output a desperate, venomous and informed rock n' roll fury that sways and swaggers somewhere between hardcore punk and the darker side of blues gone wrong. After the sudden demise of the now-legendary band Cursed, frontman Chris Colohan picked up right where the band last left us, coming back to the table with a group that had a decidedly different musical approach and direction. While Cursed was intent on tearing wounds, Burning Love takes that similar approach to new levels, luring you in with infectious hooks and full-throttle blues before going in for the kill. Rotten Thing to Say was recorded by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studio. The album's recording and production show an extreme improvement from the band's past recordings: vocals are clearer, guitars are as raw as ever and blatantly cranked to rip off your face. ( inbound )
