ROCKBURN GIG REVIEW AT TANNONCHSIDE MINORS

- Review by Richard Mooney, ICscotland

These boys from Bellshill are definitely going places...

Who are they?

They are a 4-piece rock band from Bellshill, Lanarkshire and were formed in 2005.

What's their music like?

It's old school rock and roll here folks, with a mix of blues and unrestricted writing. These guys don't hold back in their lyrics. Basically they are catchy, captivating and blooming good fun. A breath of fresh air.

Are they any good?

Yeah, they definitely have potential. Their local papers support them and the turn out for their gig was pretty impressive. Everyone was dancing towards the end of their set.

What to expect from them?

Classic Rock n' Roll, but with a 21st century twist. They are relentlessly working towards higher plateaus and will most definitely get their if they keep this kind of performance up.

*******************************

Lanarkshire band Rockburn combine blues and rock, resulting in a host sassy, catchy and utterly fabulous tuneage.

Complete with punchy drums and clean-cut riffs, the velvety drawl of the vocals only add to the attraction of this band.

Counting their influences from Fleetwood Mac to Nirvana, it is evident this band possess an eclectic taste in music, which is noticeable in each song.

"Red Dress" a blues-esque, rock ballad filled with great vocals and intricately simple guitar riffs, this song is fast and furious and totally infectious.

"Just to Pass the Time" lulls the listener with a soft intro, then launches into a fantastic rapturous chorus.

Think of a cross between a film soundtrack and a contemporary blues band.

Rockburn are an immense talent, oozing potential for the future.

Get to their profile for gig dates, news and most importantly, to hear this mega talented four-piece for yourself.
