SOMETHING TO BURN ANNOUNCE SPRING TOUR DATES WITH FAIR TO MIDLAND AND KARNIVOOL
September 2009 saw the release of SOMETHING TO BURN’S critically acclaimed debut album “Transitions” on Soft Drive Records, the record label founded by Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland. After playing a handful of shows last year with Stone Temple Pilots and some successful headlining shows of their own, SOMETHING TO BURN are gearing up to hit the road this spring with Fair to Midland and Karnivool. The tour starts March 23rd in San Antonio, TX and wraps up August 14th in Denver, CO.
Lead singer Greg Wayne, had the following to say about the upcoming tour: “Imagine a caged tiger...pacing back & forth...aching to get back out into the wild...dying to do what it was put on this earth to do. Well, SOMETHING TO BURN is that tiger and we are finally being set free this spring. I'd do everything I could to catch one of these shows if I were you...just sayin”
SOMETHING TO BURN – Norman (guitar), Greg Wayne (front man), and brothers Shawn (drums) and Jeff (bass) Ballard – have emerged from a pool of influences a lot deeper than your typical I-Pod shuffle button. They’ve been raised on music, not the radio, and they know how they want music to sound… And more importantly, they know how they want music to feel. From the classic rock upbringing of the Ballard twins-whose musical tastes were shaped by their seven older brothers and sisters, to Norman’s guitar god meets rhythm and blues fusion, and to the Maynard James Keenan meets Ray Charles vocal colors of Wayne, it’s all about what happens when their chemical backgrounds blend.
The music of SOMETHING TO BURN resurrects what we've been missing from our musical past, while forging boldly ahead into the future, and serves as the perfect soundtrack for the party that bridges the two. SOMETHING TO BURN bridges the gap between rock and roll’s heady past and its uncertain future on their debut album “Transitions”

There are unusual artistic elements and complexities within their music that appeal to both the brain and heart.

Something To Burn Interview with ARTIST Direct!
Earlier this week ARTIST Direct caught up with Something To Burn. The interview is up now!
The Los Angeles quartet has given birth to a veritable rock n' roll monster with their debut, Transitions. Blending raw grunge passion with spacey tones and textures, Transitions is a sonic head-trip worth taking again and again. Massive catchy choruses cascade into crunchy riffs, as rhythms bend and break with classic bombast. It's not surprising that these four individuals are a part of the Soft Drive Records family. Run by legendary Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland, Soft Drive is exactly what an artist-run label should be—artist-centric, allowing for unbridled passion to come through on each and every album.
Something to Burn singer Greg Wayne sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino for an exclusive interview about Transitions, Soft Drive records and so much more…Start burning with them now…
This Monday, November 23rd, Something To Burn will be playing a show with Steel Panther at the Key Club in West Hollywood. This show is going to be awesome and will likely be packed. Get there early!
Now fans can visit the new Something To Burn website to stay up to date on all news, tour dates, photos, videos, etc. The band will check in frequently with updates, so make sure you stop by.
And don't forget you can always see what's new with Something To Burn on their Facebook and Twitter!
Awesome Review of "Transitions" from Fazer Magazine!
As we've anticipated, Something To Burn's album, "Transitions" has been greeted with open arms! Check out a clip from a review on FazerMagazine.com :
The band has stated that they wanted to focus on creating a feel for the whole album, not just a collection of singles. This they have done very well, though it must be said, I believe each track can proudly stand on it’s own as a single release.
