Slow Burning Car Volume 2 – The Scattering Trifonic Records Released: 2009 I’m going to start giving awards for pretentiousness in press releases and I would nominate the press release for Slow Burning Car’s album for the first one.  Winning it for me was the phrase “compositional application in the audio realm” had me rolling about the floor laughing. They could just have said that they write songs, couldn’t they? However, “Volume 2 – The Scattering” itself is far from pretentious and, in fact, provides convincing reasons as to why you should investigate American rock music today. This album is indeed full of mainstream riffs but where it really scores is in its stylistic diversions thus providing the listener...

Slow Burning Car…ROCKS! By Joshua Ott on August 9, 2010 (original review) Joshua Ott | Rocket Sports & Entertainment Slow Burning Car, hit CD “Vol.2-The Scattering” I’ve been a music fan my entire life. I pride myself on finding bands that may not be a main stream hit but make great music. A perfect example of this would be Los Angeles based SLOW BURNING CAR. Let me tell you how I found about this group; I was in my local bar having a chat with the bartender about music and he mentioned he was in a band. Which, by the way, this is a rather common thing to hear in Hollywood. I’ve heard it all from “we are really...

INTERVIEW: Slow Burning Car – A Musical Inferno By Cyrus Rhodes (original review) “Troy Spiropoulos is a modern day Frank Zappa.” – INDIE MUSIC DIGEST:- _______________________________________________________ I first had the privilege of hearing Troy Spiropoulos a few weeks back reviewing their 2nd release “The Scattering (Volume 2). From start to finish “The Scattering” VOL 2” is one of the most tripped out musical experience I’ve ever encountered. It’s strength is its amazing originality, rich sonic layering, & unique musical personality. Musically it’s extremely consistent, & very original. The musicianship is clearly above the bar, & it’s obvious Spiropoulos is the brain child behind this entire operation. Spiropoulos deserves a lot of credit here, for sharing with us his amazing...

Vol.2 Disc Review – Greek Rebels Fanzine 11/09 (original review greekrebels.gr) Slow Burning Car-Vol. 2-The Scattering (Self Financed) Συντάχθηκε απο τον/την Greekrebels.gr Team Πέμπτη, 26 Νοέμβριος 2009 22:12 Οι Slow burning car είναι σχετικά καινούργιοι στα πράγματα. Πίσω στο 2007 ο ελληνο-αμερικάνος Troy Spiropoulos είχε μια ιδέα στο κεφάλι του. Ή μάλλον πολλές απ’ ότι φαίνεται…Σ’ αυτόν τον δίσκο λοιπόν κάθε κομμάτι αποτελεί και μια έκπληξη. Ξεκινάει με τα ‘Adama’ και ‘Ghola’ θυμίζουν αρκετά Marilyn Manson, περνάει στο σχεδόν space rock αισθητικής ‘Zeus’, συνεχίζει σε rock μπλεγμένο με hip-hop ρυθμούς με το ‘Blowback’, ξεφεύγει εντελώς με το ψυχεδελικό αλά Soundgarden ‘In The Trees’ και το catchy pop νοοτροπίας ‘Marry me’. Οι εκπλήξεις όμως δεν τελειώνουν εδώ και επειδή αφήσαμε...
