We already presented on the blog the previous album and EP from British rockers THE BURNING CROWS being impressed by the quality of this young quartet. Now the guys are back with their new album released today, August 3, entitled “Murder At The Gin House” that is so hot, it might just set your speakers on fire.

“Murder At The Gin House” is indeed a little rock ’n’ roll marvel: serving up a brew of classic rock sounds from the 70s, some shiny 80s hair band glory, a taste of glammy rocking fire, a bit of soul, and a hard rocking edge – creating an original and highly satisfying musical feast.
The Burning Crows released a rather fantastic album a couple of years ago, but “Murder At The Gin House” easily tops the debut and puts the band on a whole other level.
This is a polished and well-crafted release with hooks and gloss a-plenty, yet still capturing the band’s wild and wicked live-energy.

The CD kicks into high gear right away with the swaggering, strutting ‘Hell To Pay’, blazing with teasing-pleasing guitars, and singer Whippz’ vocals – strong and expressive with that hint of roughness that gives it just the right rock’n’roll feel.

The band follows that up with the hooky, irresistible rocker ‘Come On’ – anchored by a sweet, heavy bassline, and capturing a sort of golden-era Bon Jovi-sound while adding some real edge and attitude.
Next up is the swinging, infectious rockin’ goodness of ‘Shine’ and the outstanding track ‘Alright’ – just sparking with guitar energy and defiance.
Then power ballad ‘Goodbye (To The Sunshine)’ gives The Burning Crows a chance to show off a slightly softer side and some passionate vocals / guitar work, before firing up the hard-rocking hotness of ’11:37’ and delivering some raucous, rollicking riff-magic on ‘Little Bit More’.

‘She’s The Summertime’ is a goosebump-inducing track with a shiny-happy classic rock sound – bringing you the best of the ’80s, jolted by a big shot of the band’s fiery soulfulness.
One of my favourite tunes here is ‘Feels Like Home’ – a party-fuel track that ramps and amps things up with speeding riffs, a catchy as hell chorus, and the kind of raw energy that will pump up any crowd: “one more shot of whiskey, one more shot of wine“. Also, the guitar work on this track is really good.
Closing track ‘Holding On’ is a beautiful piece of music, adding some strings and orchestra, and revealing some real tenderness in both the music and the vocals.

“Murder At The Gin House” is so good it might just be a game-changer for The Burning Crows.
Recorded at the world-famous Rockfield Studios with skilled producer Nick Brine (The Darkness, Bruce Springsteen) behind the desk, this new record sounds clear yet powerful with a kickin’ stadium feel.
These guys are ready for the major leagues, so expect big things in The Burning Crows 2015 calendar.
Highly Recommended.
