Burning Love are an unapologetic punk band from Toronto, fronted by vocalist/lyricist Chris Colohan (Cursed, Left For Dead, Ruination, etc). Burning Love's approach is more nuanced than his previous bands. Mixing raw melody and swagger (akin to Laughing Hyenas, Poison Idea, etc) into their hardcore blood. Since 2007, Burning Love have released a number of records on labels like Deranged, High Anxiety, and Southern Lord.<br />
"Down So Long" b/w "Medicine Man" is a two song banger of an EP, recorded by Josh Korody at Candle in Toronto (Fucked Up, etc). Opener "Down So Long" emerges from ghostly feedback with an unrelenting punk romp. Lyrically addressing the social chaos of our world askew, despite the illusion of military and political order. While the infectious "Medicine Man" addresses fashionable drug addiction in the punk world, despite the trail of havoc that it cuts through the most wounded of world populations.</span></span><br />

So sorry to anyone that wrote here to see what was up with BL, the blog seemed to have gone cold and I stopped updating it so vigilantly, and I'm just seeing most of those comments now.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had to take a step back due to some respective school and work situations this year but yes, BL is alive and not dead...yet. We dusted it off to play with our brothers Coliseum in the late summer, and a Hot Snakes cover set for Hallowe'en and this upcoming weekend we're about to play a good old fashioned chaotic late-nighter at Soybomb for Not Dead Yet 2014. With Glue, Big Zit, Depths of Reality and White Wards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BLOGTO says: "<span style="text-align: justify;">Local stalwarts Burning Love have a legendary pedigree, rising from the ashes of (sadly, aptly named) Cursed as well as Our Father back in 2007. Those roots in hardcore have given way to a sound that's a little more mature (or maybe just more world-weary), donning influences of feel-good classic rock n' roll and even daring to throw in some catchy hooks. Toronto punks in the know are proud to call these guys one of their own. Even better: their after-party set's at Soybomb, undoubtedly one of the best places to catch a heavy show in the city." </span><span style="text-align: justify;">(</span><a href="http://www.blogto.com/music/2014/11/the_top_5_bands_to_sacrifice_your_hearing_to_at_ndy_2014/" style="text-align: justify;">BTO on NDY</a><span style="text-align: justify;">)</span></div>

Just a reminder to those far and wide that our friends at Shirtkiller now have this new BL "Bedheads" shirt available online, and all the other goodies they keep in print. <a href="http://www.shirtkiller.com/LiteCommerce/cart.php?target=product&product_id=17064&category_id=317">CHECK IT</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're currently laying low, waiting on the final mix the Medicine Man 7" and then it'll be off to mastering, into the oven and out some time over winter. Meanwhile, did you know you can "make money" "working" "jobs"? Yeah, I know. It was weird to me too. 25-year-late pass. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A WISTFUL WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey, I'm sitting here (just getting in from the funnest Toronto show maybe ever), way too late for how early I have to get up and do responsible life stuff, nursing abrasions that don't even make sense and feeling very thankful for my life and my friends right now. And the fact that I jus got to ride a bicycle upside down on a loft ceiling while playing. Obviously, in 20+ years of punk and hardcore bands, a lot of people, venues and moments come and go and slip through your fingers. And I'm not the sentimental guy that will tell you it was better in some mythological Back In The Day. Fuck that shit. I've seen some of the best bands and shows in the last 12 months than I have in my whole life. There are a lot of things and people that I miss having around, but the intersection of all our lives then, just as it is now, was/is <i>random</i> and we should make the most of it while it's even there. All the elements that comprised any Day are always and ever present now: people, their ideas, minds and hearts, late nights, many beers or no beers at all in their bloodstream, The Kids (be they 18 or 40 years old), their frustrations, a PA, a room, perhaps a vegan bake sale (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photophilic?hc_location=stream">bonus round</a>! looking at you too KW) and the catharsis of forgetting yourself for 45 minutes in the bodies and eyes and sweat of strangers and friends. So to anyone that comes out and gets close, says what they mean and interacts with this thing - thank you. We're/I'm grateful for it. Soybomb is the best DIY spot in our city. I'm glad we ended the whole tour there. KW and London were both amazing nights too. We're going to try to get back to some places closer to home that we so often look over when routing and planning US-heavy tours. There's so much support and good things/scenes/bands going on right now close to home that make me proud of my town, and its scene. We have a very good balance right now. People know themselves and their politics and there's shit we all just wouldn't allow past the door, and at the same time it gets unhinged, wild, all arms and legs, but not in the meathead way, it's not sexually exclusive and I'm always glad that we have such a good gender and age split in Toronto. Anyway, ramblings of a half-deaf old hardcore fan who needs to go to bed. But really, thank you. I know it's been said but - ditch the heroes. Do It Yourself. Pick up a guitar and start a band, take photos and do a fanzine, have BBQs with your friends (my place is open), put on shows, make or put out records. This is yours. It gets life from your ideas and what we bounce off each other. You don't have to "be" anyone but who you are to get involved. It is exactly what we make it. Thank you. To many more such sweaty nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, listen to Born Wrong. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mid to West to North to West to East Coast tour ruled, thanks to everyone along the way. KW was fun last night even if we got shut down, we'll do it again soon. London is tonight (see post below) and Soybomb is tomorrow. Also, I'm a lying liar with bad intel, and neither Teenanger nor Mr.Coinkydink will be performing at tomorrow night's live music spectacle. But Plurals have stepped in and Soybomb will be fun, late, loud and no doubt will get sloppy as always, in the good way. Probably the best DIY venue in the city.</div>

...is what we just came through. Waiting for the plane to Whitehorse. We just made it out of Calgary before the worst of the flooding and evacuations. The rest of the fest is canceled. Hopefully our friends in Torche, KenMode, Code Orange Kids and everyone else got out safely. Good luck, Calgary and endless thanks to Sled Island. <br />
<br />
So, Arctic tonight (72 hours of sunlight sounds pretty good right now), VAN on Tuesday, Seattle on Thursday, not Wed, etc. And the Chicago show, now with more CULO! See you out there somewhere. </div>

Coming up, East Coast (US & CANADA) in August. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here's the play: BL's 2013 touring schedule is mostly all aboot...Canada, which always gets shafted in routing. Side to side as well as up and down. We're still firming it up but we'll be going from here to the west coast June 13 - July 3rd (including a stop at Sled Island festival in Calgary and more shows with our friends Baptists), in the middle of which we'll be going north to Dawson, Whitehorse, Anchorage and Yellowknife, where the sun doesn't set. That's some bucket list shit, no? On the way back from Vancouver we'll be hitting the northern US - Seattle, PDX and over Brokeback Mountain to get home. So if you or someone you love does shows in some buttfuck place like the Dakotas that no one ever comes to, and you want us to come there, and know at least 7 people who agree, get in touch. We are going to have some east coast US shows in July or August with our boys Doomriders. And then later in August we're going east all the way to The Rock and back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're recording a 7" next month with Josh Korody (who did the Black Widow EP), so we'll have that out for the summer. These are the next shows we have booked: </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">03.23.13 Toronto @ Long Winter V5 (Great Hall) w/The Sadies +Many</span></div>

...That's our year, and I'm glad that was the show for it. We're hibernating for a bit and writing while I have LFD stuff taking over for the January reunion shows. So thanks for a great year everyone that supported BL with floors, shows, food, bands, burritos, koalas, swags and god knows what else. We'll have our 2013 plans worked out over the next 8 weeks or so and we'll keep you posted. Stay sweet. </div>

NOT DEAD YET 2012 started last night with Martin (Crudos/Limp
Wrist) Sorrendeguy's incredible restrospective photo exhibit <a href="http://makeamessrecords.bigcartel.com/product/book-pre-order-get-shot-a-visual-diary-1985-2012-by-martin-sorrondeguy">Get Shot</a> that'll be up for the duration of the fest at the Hunt Club (709 College St). <a href="http://notdeadyettoronto.tumblr.com/">NDY 2012 Schedule</a>. No sleep till Monday, Toronto.<br />
<br />
Also, hey. Sit down with dad for a second. For realsies now. There IS a BL Twitter, the result of an overtired joke in a hotel room while recording, where we would only talk about farting and use no vowels. It was a funny about how degenerated that voyeuristic culture is. But it's not real, will not be kept up with any regularity (we've actually lost the login info) and isn't a good way to be in touch with our moment to moment frtn activities. We keep getting friend requests (Danny Devito?!) and messages about it and I just want to reiterate that (if you are not an Arab Spring activist, a Chinese dissident or someone evading
arrest while protesting in a totalitarian state) Twitter is in fact useless and microcosmically vacant. Ours was purely for jokes and is technically there but not active (like the brains of modern men everywhere, myself included). Read a book, Bieber. Real talk.<br />

In a related story, <a href="http://www.truthdig.com/report/category/hedges/">Chris Fucking Hedges</a> can't be bought. Try stuffing THIS guy into 140 characters or less. A credible and highly recommended 3 hour tour of reality:</div>

This weekend is <a href="http://notdeadyettoronto.tumblr.com/">Not Dead Yet</a>. Get your ass to TO. We're playing Soybomb late Friday night with Hassler, Owl Eyes and Hank Wood and the Hammerheads. Then Dec.21st in Buffalo, and that's our year. We're gonna hibernate, write new songs and plan out our 2013. Listen To <a href="http://fightamp.bandcamp.com/album/birth-control">Fight Amp</a> for the love o' Christ. They're better than ever.<br />

RIP Kim Phuc. We hardly knew ye.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're only half way through this week and it's been amazing. Some shows that were almost afterthoughts to the routing to and from the fests turned out to be so fun, in random last minute spots that make me wistful for bygone days - we played in a storefront in Syracuse, a sketchy Korean restaurant / karaoke bar in Baltimore and an alley in Charlotte in the first 72 hours, all of them ruling. It's great to see people using DIY spaces so creatively again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fest as always was killer. From Ashes Rise and NA, goddamn. We missed the end of the world on the east coast by hours and in the south there's not a trace of it down here. To our friends on the east coast, I hope you're all alright. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're churning towards Austin. We're playing the FFF day show we're slotted for but also a night one with Power Trip, our boys Fight Amp, and Enabler, at Holy Mountain. That'll be the kicker. Holy hell, am I really going to see Earth, X and Run DMC in the same day? What <i>is</i> this magical place? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rest of the shows are listed below. If you're in Little Rock, the BL/Joyce Manor house show is being moved to the <a href="http://www.northlittlerock.org/entries.aspx?id=308&section=1&subsection=19&filter1=&filter2=&filter3=">Riverview Skatepark</a> in North Little Rock, check your local TV station or just ask your friend, he probably knows what's up. But it is happening.<br />
<br />
When we get home, there's NDY where we play a late show at Soybomb, FINALLY, and I wanna see someone try and ride the bike that's stuck to the ceiling. And then in December we have our last show of the year. What's the date, you ask? Do you need to ask? December 21st 2012. Buffalo NY. Stay tuned for details and I hope we see you out here. Stay pissed and all that shit but more immediately, stay dry. It's way less brutal but <i>super</i> practical. </div>

Thanks so much to the folks of Resist and everyone in Australia and NZ, Bryan Wassom and everyone that helped us out on tour. It was an unreal experience and we'll do it all again as soon as possible. For now, we're playing these local shows:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">09.21.12 - Toronto @ The Horseshoe Tavern w/ Hot Snakes (!?!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">09.26.12 - Toronto @ The Phoenix w/ Propagandhi & CBK</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...and then we go out to The Fest and Fun Fun Fun next month, and tour there and back, including shows with DNF, Joyce Manor and our old road bros Fight Amp, as well as FINALLY playing Soybomb for a late-nighter during Not Dead Yet in November. Stay tuned for details. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Quick Update</span> from Sydney airport, currently on our way to Perth - We're having a blast down here. The folks at Resist and all our friends and the kids here are being real good to us and the bands here are sick. 3 Aussie shows left and then NZ. Hopefully we can do this all over again before too long.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Dear Friend</span> - This summer has been the best times yet for us as a band and some of the best times of our lives period, and still it all feels like it's just the warm-up for more and more. The SL Tour was a blast on all levels, and in less than 2 weeks we leave for Australia. Here's how it's gonna go down:</div>

<br />
...see you Bruces in the pit.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">P&L</span> - We played a very last-minute show the other night at Parts & Labor which was intended to be a secret Refused set but they didn't go through with it. For our part though, it was probably the best TO show we've ever had, so thanks to Greg SITC and all our friends at P&L. It's always good dudes & unhinged times. Here's a couple songs that our boy Julian taped. We got our friend Jose taping the whole thing as well so once it's edited, we'll throw it up here.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">EMAIL</span> - I suck at it. But you probably knew that. And to make it worse, my very elderly and already second hand G4 Powerbook has bought the ticket and taken it's final ride. So apologies to anyone that's been either writing us through here, or me personally, if I haven't gotten back or don't until I'm back from tour and get my virtual shit together. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">UPDATE: PHILLY</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, 30 days and many thousands of miles later and we're in the home stretch. Today is the last Martyrdod show of the tour, and we fall off at various stops in the next few days. For us, it's Chicago. We're homesick as fuck and have the 1000 yard stare but this whole tour, it's been incredibly good to us this time around. I just wanted to say thank you to everybody on this tour who's been looking out for each other like it aught to be but rarely is, and to all the old and new faces all over Canada and the US that we've seen in the course of this tour. It's gonna be hard adjusting to any tour without camping, bocce, Rob Halford or foam parties after this. I'm hoping to make a photo book of the 35MM pictures I've been taking of this trip.
But for real - to Greg, Aaron, Dave and everyone at Southern Lord, and to Enabler, Martyrdod, Black Breath and everyone out here with us, and the special surprises along the way (Bapstists, Depressing, Noothgrush, Pelican, Wild Tribe, Power Trip, Ancient Shores, Dead in the Dirt, The Secret, Poison Idea...) - thank you, it's been as good as it gets. </div>

<br />
The LP is out and around at this point, we're stoked at the good response it's gotten so fast. Next up for us is Australia in August, see the Resist Records site for updated show info and someone please save me a swag, because we don't have them here and they sound like a great idea. We'll be announcing our intentions towards the US east coast and south for October/November as soon we have it mapped out, but it's looking like some exciting shit. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">UPDATE: SAN DIEGO.</span> This tour rules, all these dudes and bands are gross and great to watch all night and hang out with all day. Thanks to our brothers in Baptists/Depressing and everyone along Canada that made it so awesome. We're definitely gonna do it more thoroughly next year.<br />
<br />
The LP is out. You can get it from us on this tour (dates below) or from Southern Lord now on both formats. And yes, the Toronto release cover version is long gone.There's a ton more interviews floating around, this <a href="http://blowthescene.com/interviews/burning-love-interview-exclusive-with-chris-colohan.html">Blow The Scene</a> one is pretty thorough. Also a lot of reviews out there: <a href="http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/burning_love-rotten_thing_to_say_2">Exclaim</a>, <a href="http://lambgoat.com/albums/2993/Burning-Love-Rotten-Thing-To-Say">Lambgoat</a>, <a href="http://killyourscene.info/burning-love-rotten-thing-to-say/">Kill Your Scene</a>, <a href="http://tighttothenail.blogspot.ca/2012/06/review-burning-love-rotten-thing-to-say.html">Treble</a>.

Well here it comes. Album and tour. And tour, and tour. Below is the next run. I'm gonna leave this post at the top for a while and just update the info as/if it changes. We are reconfigured for four players. RIP Van #3. High hopes for van #4, with 10 cylinders and 3 feet more room, immediately cancelled out by more amps (Marshall's Marshalls). And you know, we'd have it no other way.</div>

Thanks so much to Nasum, Brutal Truth, Greg Daly and Jamie Getz for having us the last few days. Been waiting a long time to see that, let alone play it. So thank you, and nice to finally meet you, and RIP. That shit is going to <i>level</i> Chaos, MDF and everywhere else in its path in the next few weeks, so don't sleep on it cause it's only gonna happen once. </div>

4. NASUM SHOWS - We just got added to the Toronto and Montreal shows in a few weeks with NASUM and Brutal Truth, since Dropdead have unfortunately had to cancel. They are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Sunday the 20th at the</span> <a href="http://dontdatethatdude.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/anus.jpg">Annex Wreckroom</a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">in Toronto and Monday the 21st at </span><a href="http://images.wikia.com/pagan/images/8/84/Valhalla.jpg">Salla Rossa</a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">in Montreal</span>. No doubt we're gonna be some poser shit to a room of grindcore and metal kids, but regardless, this is very personal and exciting to be any part of. Nasum were an untouchable band in their absolute prime and like most fans I never got to see them after their singer and his partner were at the wrongest of places at the worst of times and were swept out to sea and killed in the historic tsunami in Thailand in 2004. I saw firsthand on Cursed tour in Scandinavia and Europe in the following months of 2005 what a great loss it was to our community. So it's great that they're finally getting to have a proper ending to that chapter, thanks to Keijo from Rotten Sound, the only man who could possibly step up to the task, and that finally all the people over here who have figured out Nasum's true impact since then, can pay their respects first hand. Thanks for having us.</div>

5. RTTS Limited Release Show Edition - The RTTS record release show is going ahead as planned, June 8th at the Silver Dollar. We're having 100 of the LP shipped straight from the plant early so we can do a limited release show cover version of the LP just for this one show. For the uninitiated, a release show version of a record is a record made specifically for one event, so as to allow the listener to look back, like <i>"Hey, remember this night? What a blast! Dan Burke fell down the stairs!"</i> etc. The last time I did this arts & crafts shit (Cursed III Good Friday Edition) I learned fast that about 12 out of 10 people at your merch table on such a night are looking at it more like a $15 square thing that can promptly be turned into a $100 bill. But I'm a record dork myself and I love doing shit like this, so I'm not gonna fight it. You make something rare and collectible, that part is cool - it's only the money that bothers me, because we keep our own things as cheap and accessible as we can. But hey, it's your party. And for the benefit of any music fans out there, the square thing will also contain a round thing imprinted with songs you can play on your phonograph player, and an extra inner square thing with words about those songs that you can read and think about. And a fun cover that will make little sense outside of Toronto. Limit: one per entrepreneur. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Friday June 8 @ the Silver Dollar with Purity Control, Suicider and Wastoids</span>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Due to some US Visa delays, we have to reroute the first few shows of June tour from US and go the long and scenic route west by going north through Canada instead on those same dates (June 11-13). So apologies to Detroit, Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Good news is, we'll finally get our asses to Sudbury like we've been meaning to for years (June 11 at Millard's Garage, 459 Lasalle). Then we're gonna try our luck with Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay, though it might just be us and some caribou. At least it's a really beautiful drive. And we pick up from Winnipeg to Vancouver as planned from there. </div>

7. <a href="http://Vogelisms.com/">Vogelisms.com</a>. How come no one told me about this shit until now?</div>CChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03794872160058873853noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355970365278693362.post-91067815873366472042012-05-07T01:09:00.000-04:002012-05-07T12:02:07.067-04:00Andrus Has Left The Building / Nasum Shows<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then there were four...or possibly 5 still, we don't know yet. Let me rewind by the events of the last few hours. This one's a doozy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's not an easy life. It is a super <i>fun</i> one and a very charmed one if you really think about how people on normal life time work and then realize you're in an ocean you may never have otherwise touched, or seeing a good friend you wouldn't ever have even crossed paths with and sleeping on their familiar couch whole worlds and countries away from where you started - and getting to do your favorite thing (kick out the <i>jams</i>, motherfucker) everywhere you go. But yeah, fuck - it isn't what you'd call <i>easy</i>. It strains your relationships, your jobs and the logistics of your life for as long as you do it. And it takes a certain self-punishment to get out of the van at your house at 6AM at the end of tour and say <i>Ok, so jam tomorrow?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether or not you ever <i>make it</i>, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean - your life still boils down to the same day, be it grandiose or depressing. It's all just one sound check or another (whether in a concert theatre or a punk house basement), one avoidable argument with your bandmates or another (whether they are still your friends or now simply business partners), hours staring out the window of one vehicle or another (whether it's a half million dollar tour bus or an illegally unsafe $680 camper van that you had to fudge the safety on), one floor or bed, squat or shitty motel, or <i>expensive </i>hotel - or another. Et cetera. So you have to love what you're doing more than you can ever expect it to love you back, and you have to believe that it's for a reason even when you can't expect that reason ever to confirm it's own existence outright, even when you could use it the most. Morale? It's a real son of a bitch. You have to learn to laugh in the face of genuine disaster and eventually come to mean it (Things I Have Learned From Dan Dunham). Hell, in the last 10 days <i>alone</i> we managed to kill a van (our 3rd in as many years), have a band member hospitalized and miss a show, and come home sick as dogs as we went from whiteout blizzards in Quebec to the soaring heat of the American south in a matter of hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of this is to say - people stick it out as much and as far as they can, but there are always some casualties along the way. And I can never begrudge anyone I care about and have gone through some shit with, for having to make the call that is best for their life, whether I agree with it or not. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andrus has decided he needs to get off the Burning Love ride about here, as of all the upcoming tours. He'll be playing the Nasum/Brutal Truth shows with us in TO & MTL (which we just got added to as Dropdead sadly has had to cancel), and he'll still be playing the Rotten Thing To Say LP release show in Toronto, but that will be his last stand for the immediate future, while we scramble to get our game plan together in time for a full US and Canada tour that starts exactly five weeks today. We have some ideas which we still have to work out logistically, starting today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Needless to say we're keeping to all existing plans - Southern Lord Tour, Australia in August, and The Fest & Fun Fun Fun run in the fall. But, also needless to say - Burning Love is definitely not going to be the same without Andrus, without his sleazy School of Rock riffs, his morbidly dirty <i>Andrus white</i> undershirts and gifted dexterity as a guitarist and songwriter. We love you Andrus...you fuckin' sleepy dick. Please don't stop doing the thing you were born to do. </div>
