DIY Drops from The Burning of Rome and The Cardinal Points
Surfdog recording artists, The Burning Of Rome, are a San Diego band known for their live show antics and blistering rock filled with melodic hooks – drawing from genres like gypsy punk, dance and rock. This week, the band drops their new album, With Us, from which we have two tracks to share. Their submission to IRC states: “If Pink Floyd, The Misfits and Danny Elfman [the famous film composer] plotted world domination, it would sound just like this.
The Burning of Rome have shared the stage with an impressive array of artist and bands since their formation in 2006, including Devo, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, The Black Keys, Saul Williams, MGMT, Jimmy Eat World, Pennywise, Rogue Wave, Skrillex, and The Whigs, among others.
