Sales Information:
After the critical success of We go way back and the recent collaboration with Chris Bailey of the legendary Australian band The Saints (Album Bailey / Burns), H-Burns continues on Off The Map to move towards a sound which is less and less harsh, but instead wider and wider. H-Burns dropped the plaid shirts, now they truly have become a great classy rock band, a band that doesnt know any borders. Off the Map is a world record where the concepts of maps and territories are the cement of the lyrics, in a total symbiosis with the sound: brass performed by the musicians from Wilcos latest albums, a drummer who hits a snare drum from the 1930s, keyboard parts played on vintage instruments that sound like they havent been touched for years. This new album of H-burns is also the first album released by the label Vietnam, tailor-made by their friends at So Foot, the magazine that has once been described by Voxpop as >a punk football magazine which talks about football because its the rocknroll of the modern world<. Create a label. What for? >Because what really matters, its the journey<. With or without a map.
