The burnt performing Work (live)

The burnt - Compilation songs

I added a little download off some of their rare songs that appeared on compilation albums.
Its a total of 5 songs from 3 different albums.
From Bark!Bark!Bark! compilation:
01. Bad moon rising (cover)
02. Gigglepuss
Both tracks are mediocre but Gigglepuss is a good song even though its a bit enoying.
From We did it ourself compilation:
03. Chicken barbecue
04. Hey you
Chicken barbecue is a great track and well worth downloading.
From NJ and you compilation:
05. Chemical hangover
Really great compilation album and a really good song. The drums are fantastic on this song and the song feels a bit more Oi! then what The burnt used to sound.

The burnt & Deathrage - Split 6'' (1993)

Tracklist:
01. Deathrage - Murdering the brady bunch (Recorded in 1984)
02. The burnt - Flintstones (Recorded in 1985)

Released by Headache records in 1993.

Released 5 years after The burnt broke up and features a better version of their old song Flintstones.
Deathrage was a spinoff of the NJ hardcore band Adrenalin O.D. and represents everything i hate about "intellectuals" and trendy college punk. Its slow, "chocking", noizy and bad.
I can promise that this blogg will never ever make a discography or section about this band.

The burnt - Charlie Brown 7'' (1988)

Tracklist:
01. Charlie brown
02. I wanna pet my cat (with a bat)

Released by Headache records in 1988.

This record was recorded live by Pat Duncan when The Burnt hosted his program at WFMU in 1987. Basically their last record before they disbanded and reunited under the name The wretched ones (but i have some extras up my sleeve so dont worry).
Great soundquality for a liverecording (well live in a studio atleast) and good choice of songs.
Both tracks are great but I wanna pet my cat is by far the better one.

The burnt - Social disease 7'' (1987)

Tracklist:
01. Social disease
02. Plastic girls

Released by Headache records in 1987.

This was the album that started one of the early 90's biggest and most respected American punklabels Headache records. The label was started by The burnt's bass-player Pit (that is probably more known as Armen) he would later be the vocalist in The wretched ones.
The label released a lot of great bands and always keept high quality on the groups they worked with. They released Niblick henbane ,Limecell, Squiggy (before they started their own Squiggytone records), Urban riot and Toughskins to name a few.

Great record with slapping drums and Dog the vocalist sounds a bit "Misfit" in his delivery.
Greatest track is Social disease and probably my favourite track by the band.

Released by Mutha records in 1985.

The last release through Mutha records and the cover is like a wet dream for music nerds like myself. The face of the guy on the cover is an almoust identical image that they used for their own label Headache records that they started just 2 years after this release.

This album features some tracks that The wretched ones would later remake in the 90´s (Hey old man and We belong to nobody).
Many tracks both short and long from the 12 second track Garbage can (that has a 6 second intro before the song starts haha) to the more laidback track Holiday in Guyana that reaches over 4 minutes (damn great track to).
Many good songs and among the favourites are Life stinks, We dont belong to nobody, I hate you and Holiday in Guyana.

The burnt - MP EP (1983)

 Tracklist:
01. Let me out
02. The luftwaffe
03. Up the river
04. Industrial accident
05. The flintstones
06. Teachers pet
07. Horse meat

Their first release ever. Released by Mutha records in 1983.

This was the band that would later become The wretched ones and a lot of that bands most famous song are actually The burnt songs. They formed in 1979 and was heavily influenced by The ramones, Dead boys and other punkrock bands of that era. Started by the punkveterans Pit and B.T (still members of The wretched ones) they had a hard time to get gigs around Bergen N.J where they originate from so they often had to lie and promote themselfs as a metal-band to get any gigs. It didnt take long until Mark Chesley of Mutha records heard of them and signed them to his label. In late 80's they droped the band and the band moved on to create Wretched.

The quality of the songs on this release is in no way great and i have a hard time listening to artsyfartsy fast punk of this era but these guys have some great (though short) songs on this release.
You can clearly hear their influences from The ramones and that is in my oppinion something positive.
Best songs in the bunch are The luftwaffe (damn catchy chorus), The flintstones (they released a better version later on) and Teachers pet (34 seconds of pure hate and jealousy).
