Ears Wide Open: Burroughs

Where are we, on the fourth or fifth generation of post-punk revivalists? Does that make a re-re-re-re-revival? Not that I’m complaining. Post-punk only loses its potency when the bloat of production or the overt aping of legends smothers it – which, thankfully, is not the case with new L.A. rockers Burroughs. The quartet of singer Chad Archibald, guitarist Dustin Hollenbeck, bassist Daniel Pouliot and drummer AJ English keep it wiry and raw on their debut EP (available on a name-your-price basis). File under Division of Joy.

sounds very 2001. kinda stale and boring, but hey at least they are hitting the right notes

I’m diggin the photo but that’s about it.
the guy with the hat has the right idea. get off the train bro
Don’t get the hate, Burroughs rules!!!
meh its ok.
I’m into it.
makes me want to dust off my bloc party and strokes records
saw them at a warehouse party and the whole place was dancing! the songs are a bit different from the live show I guess, but I like their song Where We Sleep the most. Cant wait to see tonight
their style is kinda played out and the singer’s not very convincing, but its ok…
ears wide shut
