Beautiful Night

First, a little background about the Burden Brothers' lineage. The band was formed by ex-Toadies lead singer Vaden Todd Lewis and drummer Taz Bentley, who has played with Izzy Stradlin, the Reverend Horton Heat and Tenderloin. Former Gwar and Ministry bassist Casey Orr and guitarists Corey Rozzoni and Casey Hess later joined them. During the past couple of years, the Texas-based band has developed a regional following gigging around the Southwest. The Brothers' debut album, "Buried in Your Black Heart," arrived last year without much fanfare on ex-Deep Blue Something drummer John Kirtland's label. These days, the album's lead single, the blistering "Beautiful Night," can be heard on such modern rock stations as KUPD Phoenix, KDGE Dallas and KROX Austin. More stations will likely follow, as word spreads about this catchy, rugged rock anthem. Fans of Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age should not overlook this band. Distributed by RED.—MP
