Barn Burner

Forming a strong union between the directness of boogie metal with intimations towards '70s fuzz, á  la Thin Lizzy, yet updated and with vocal sensibilities that recall Vancouver's Darkest Of The Hillside Thickets, Montreal's Barn Burner accomplish much with the wonky and wanky, yet wonderful, Bangers. Ranging in attack from laidback shuffles to combative grit, there's a touch of everything, creating a unique meeting ground between groove metal and punk rock'n'roll. All of it's accented by the crisp production of producer/engineer Adrian Popovich (Tricky Woo, Sam Roberts, the Dears, Sebastian Grainger), resulting in an album that features the warmth and familiar undertones of Sometimes I Cry yet blazes with the fury of Leviathan.
