This Burning Age’s music is violently beautiful, bridging the “Electro-Rock” divide with startling finesse, delivering compulsive tracks that hook you from the start, and revealing a maturity of lyrics and arrangement that would normally only be found in more established artists, let alone newcomers with a debut album.
Their influences range into diverse and often conflicting genres: New Wave , Punk, Post-Punk, Industrial, Neue Deutsche Härte, Synth-pop, Post-Rock, Goth, Drum and Bass and Trip-hop with the end result giving rise to a depth, quality and intelligence of song writing and a distinctive, individual voice all of their own.
Bringing with them an equally electrifying live performance and a ten track album, “A Muzzle for the Masses” released on Friday’s own label, 5th Day Records (created for this and future releases for as long as they are unsigned), in both CD Digipak and Limited Edition CD Digipak formats, you’ll wonder where they’ve come from.
This Burning Age started life as a solo project with Friday writing, arranging and performing everything on what was to become the 10 track album “A Muzzle for the Masses”. It was only towards the end of the recording process that he set about recruiting band members with a view to taking the tracks into the live arena.
2009 to 2011 has seen their profile, and their fan-base, on the rise. DJ and Television presenter Alex Zane selected “Panic (Bring on the Bomb)” for his radio show, followed by Kerrang Radio’s Emma Scott playing “Human Condition” for five weeks running on her Saturday night “RAW” show. “End Game” received a two week run on Radio WM and tracks from the album receive regular airplay on Birmingham University’s “Scratch Radio” and Stourbridge’s “The ‘Bridge”. The band has been lucky enough to be asked to open for established Alt-Rockers “Hundred Reasons” on the Birmingham leg of their UK tour, a night held in association with Kerrang. After taking on Management, they are now booking gigs and festivals throughout the UK and mainland Europe.
