Music Monday - Week 6

A few months ago the local meat market hovel of a nightclub near me in Aldershot was taken over and turned into a reputable gig venue. As with all things these days they set up a facebook page to advertise upcoming gigs, one of their posts was commented upon by a young man from Farnham suggesting his band for a support slot. So impressed by this blatant self promotion and bravado I had to find out about the band for myself. So began my short, but entertaining, quest to find out more about Burn Before Reading.

Burn Before Reading

A short hop skip and a hyperlink across the web led me to a band Fierce Panda described as, "four young men from Farnham who play drivingly intense indie rock which is casually littered with the odd terrifically bionic chorus." Sounding somewhere between Maximo Park and The Editors with moments of the great and greatly missed Model Morning they skillfully craft 3 minute pop songs that no one would be ashamed to blast out their stereo on a summer's evening road trip. At this time of year I can think of no higher recommendation. They're bound to be playing a festival near you this summer so check out their website for free demos and then wait with eager anticipation for the full length album which I hear is on its way.
