Slow Burning Car – Soul Crimes Slow Burning Car is a driven, passionate and charismatic band with a focus on punk and alternative rock. With their recent release, “Soul Crimes”, Slow Burning Car managed to refine their sonic offering and bring their vision to new staggering heights. The sound of this song makes me think of the early work from bands such as The Ataris or The Foo Fighters. It’s all about tasteful melodies and compelling lyricism with a personal touch. The verses are often driven by cool palm-muted guitars, while the choruses really open up with a massive wall of sound, allowing the song to reach a deep climax and a lush texture. On this song, Slow Burning Car showcases the band’s...

It’s a maturity thing for this...

Slow Burning Car: Assumption Melodic/Progressive Rock Craig Hartranft www.dangerdog.com 5-4-13 If anything California’s Slow Burning Car are some imaginative fellows, bringing their third album of eclectic melodic rock, Assumption. Eclectic is an appropriate description for the tunes here, or maybe, varied. However, the album isn’t quite as cohesive and compelling at the previous Vol. 2 – The Scattering.
