The Kreuzberg label “Grapes of Wrath“, a subsidiary of CORE TEX, the world-famous store and label in Kreuzberg 36, is releasing an EP by the band BURNTHE8TRACK titled “Division“, which has only been released in their home country of Canada, along with four bonus songs that were released on a now-rare single by the band. This is a great deal for collectors. And for the rest of humanity?
What does BURNTHE8TRACK do? And why?
The band hails from Canada, has released their two albums on major labels, has been featured on MTV, and has also been part of the Vans Warped Tour. These hard facts suggest that CORE TEX is finally looking to make some money with this release. The band is not exactly in the usual target focus of the label.
What is the band like? They can master their instruments, have energetic singalongs, and appealing melodic arcs. Nevertheless, the 10 tracks drag on like chewing gum and are somewhere in the limbo between soft hardcore and hard melody punk. The songs try to sound powerful, but they can't really convince.
The sound is mass-compatible. Whether the producer intended it that way, or if it was requested by the band themselves, remains a mystery. In any case, there are hundreds of better bands. Lyrically, the band also doesn't deliver anything substantial. No clear statements, just adapted wishy-washy. Lastly, the cover is not spared either, as it has been rather carelessly thrown together.
Live, the band is said to be very good, but on “DIVISION“ they are not.
