Get ready to have a good time with Burnt Ones.
Burnt Ones is a great San Francisco three-piece who describe their sound as ‘hologram rock’.
The band is made up of Mark Tester (Vocal / Guitar), Amy Crouch (Drums), and Brian Allen (Bass). Their new 7-inch ‘Meet The Golden One b/w Luv’ came out last March on Burger Records/Gold Records. You can download their track ‘Bury Me In Smoke’ and see the video for ‘Meet the Golden One’ below.
Burnt Ones will play on May 16 w/ Thee Oh Sees, Mallard and Warm Soda so make sure to buy tickets now before it’s all sold out. Do not miss them!
