BURNING LOVE- SONGS FOR BURNING LOVERS

SONGS FOR BURNING LOVERS

Righto. I know I’m way behind the times with this one, again. As I say, I get ‘em when I get ‘em. Found out about this kinda by accident. Not being as linked in as I used to be, things filter through at different rates on the radar.

Anyway,  me and a mate were having a browse in Resist Records recently and it was playing. Both our ears pricked up independently , after a while my mate asks what was playing. “Burning Love’s first album”. I looked  back through the  racks until I found it.

Haven’t heard anything like this in ages. Got it home and kept playing it for about a week straight. I could slot in superlatives and comparisons but at the end – This is hardcore that kicks arse and ROCKS.  It rocks, it rolls, it punks, it hardcores. Look, maybe I’m just getting carried away and it’s simply great just fuckin’ rock ‘n roll! Throaty vocals, filthy guitars, and It’s all pretty much full tilt until the end of side two. Get to the end of side one and “miserable sound” shows they’re not afraid of turning out a (fuckin’ good) chunky  metal riff either, which it’s kind of built up to by this stage.   It fades out. Turn it over, and it fades back in -  pretty neat. The momentum continues on side two........ Great fun. I challenge you to listen to it and see if you can restrain yourself from  bobbing your head to it.



Great vinyl package to boot. Soundwise there’s plenty of oomph. Love the fade in from side one to side two. Cover – wise simple and effective. There’s a lyric sheet (and some of the lyrics are great) – “Ignore the doctor’s orders and this is what I get”, (Gain). This one’s one Blue vinyl as well.
