SATURDAY SONG TO DRINK ENERGY DRINKS TO: BURST — “NINETEENHUNDRED”
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 at 4:28pm by Kip WingerschmidtI’m told that up is the new down, polka is the new metal, and energy drinks are the new WEED, but I’m not sure that all those claims are entirely accurate.
Also, Burst is (soon to be was) an awesome band, and if you can catch them on their first/last US tour ever (until a reunion that a scant few of us will actually care about) with Zoroaster and MetalPoops bone-crunching/eco-friendful fave Gojira (for most dates), you shan’t be disappointed. I can safely say that we are all extremely excited to see this bill at a smallish venue in chipster Brooklyn — you’re invited too, so get a ticket before it sells out!
It’s a shame to see Burst go — the albums that they’ve released are all pretty awesome, and I believe that the more they were to tighten their vision, the more they could have crossed over into further popularity/acclaim.
Oh well.

Caffine goes rather nicely with dillinger-esque ADD-style music actually.
‘Don’t worry guys, in order to expose the US to our music for the first/last time, we will be making no less than FOUR stops in TEXAS!’
Sucks that they thought to skip the entire West Coast in order to provide the desert with musical dessert…on a tour with Gojira no less…
We shall call that your problem.
i cheated and drank a crips chilled bud light lime. mmmm
This is such a great album. Can’t wait for the Brooklyn show.
there’s no new weed. and it’s definitely not taurine. anyway only high school kids do any of that anyway.
ok thanks for waiting so long kip. what is this? political?
btw “…is the new…” is so last year. ghey. in triplicate please.
BURST RULE sorry for the input
That’s a shame, I was looking forward to the new Katatonia album.
burst is amazing. fuck y’all if you don’t agree.
only kids in high school listen to this junk. blew my mind when I was 16 listening to under the running board.
Burst are awesome, but you should have linked I Exterminate The I or We Are Dust :P
You could pretty much pick anything off this record. It took me a couple listens, but after that they beca,e one of my favorites of last year, hands down.
I don’t have any idea who Burst is but I saw Gojira in Manhattan in May and I’m tempted to seem them in Brooklyn now…
agreed but i dont live in ny >.<
Man I love Burst. I mean, they’re no Cormorant or Maytag or anything, but wow, what an awesome band. Really bummed they’re calling it quits.
well if finntroll has anything to say about it… polka might just BE the new metal
At least they are touring the US once again Australia misses out! Lazarus Bird was definitely my fave album of 2008 and should have been in the top 21 list!
SO sad. LOVE them.
I dig this.
What an album to end Burst with, fucking awesome.
