“Vol. 2 – The Scattering” (Trifonic Laboratories; 2007) Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton I don’t know where to begin in describing the music on Slow Burning Car’s “Vol. 2 – The Scattering.” As my good friend Mike SOS states below, these musicians pride themselves in working with a multitude of musical colors. I hear everything on this CD from the band’s self-professed space rock to 80s punk to Foreigner-style hard rock to early new wave and beyond.

Slow Burning Car – Blowback Slow Burning Car is an up and coming punk rock band from LA, with a sound mix of 80s punk rock and new Californian punk, with elements of some good ‘ol fashioned heavy metal. In other words you get some good rock music for your listening to, or set your car on fire to.
