The 'Burn
Drunken Fool
Label: Hut Recordings Release Date: 17/03/2003
Give enough monkeys enough guitars and occasionally they’ll write the next Oasis single. Most of the time though, they’ll probably just write a song that sounds like The Burn.
Its run-of-the-mill dope-addled acoustic hippified bollocks from the Blackburn group who’re essentially Lancashire’s answer to Toploader. Except possibly less enjoyable. Even Jamie Oliver would think twice about draping his fat, corporate disease-ridden tongue across this lot. And yes, we really are in that territory. Nonetheless, you just know The Burn are going to be huge.
