4/19/2013 Hunter Gatherer — Columbia, SC
Since releasing their début album Wild Fire in January, Columbia’s Burnt Books has only stopped touring enough to take a couple of deep breaths. Stringing together dates up and down the east coast, the band’s been introducing their mathy style of heavy on melodic to growing crowds all over.
Comprised of former members of popular local bands Thank God, Guyana Punchline, and Tunguska, the guys in the group found the secret ingredient to their music in vocalist Zoe Lollis, whose vocals and honest lyrics move from whispers to screams.
The video for their song “In a Shallow Grave” is extremely well shot and captures the band in their practice space, cutting the minutia from the video, and giving fans an inside look at where it all comes together.
