Review for the Ugly One
Exclaim! Magazine
By: Keith Carmen
Delivering their acoustic-based punk rock with uncompromised passion and aggression, the Burnitdowns create an impressive atmosphere on The Ugly One. Dynamic, the album flows between twang-y chug, a borderline Celtic/gutter punk rock drive and full-on blast, thereby blending the influences of Johnny Cash, Rise Against and early AFI with ease. Still, the band’s ability to stack wavering vocal melodies over the most sublime of rhythmic passages creates intense layers for what seem like otherwise straight-forward tunes such as “I’m Goin’ Out,” “Rhythm And Booze” and “Quarantine.” The production rides the line between technical perfection and edgy live so perfectly it’s almost disturbing. These 11 tracks fly by with paced power that necessitates further listening to ensure one actually got it all. Sounding like a band with far more years under their belts than their fresh faces would indicate, The Ugly One is a stellar introduction to countrified punk rock for a new generation and a hard reminder of its importance for the callous old one.

hey guys i got a shit load of pics in my photo albums from the boat the other night, you guys rawked!! feel free to use the pics anyway you want. id just apreciate if you gave me a photo credit if you do.
That was a great set at The Boat for Punk 4 Parkinsons. A punk monolith that's infused with a little party-animal debauchery. This is straight-ahead dirty sounding music with attitude. Onwards and upward for the band.
How Cool to be friends on MySpace. I enjoyed looking at your profile because it seems like you are doing your best to help others succeed. Cheers to you!
Hey lads! Hows cold cold Canada? I don't quite know what's going on down here but over christmas the wind kicked up and the weather cooled down and I was shivering my nuts off in t-shirt and shorts on the beach!!
Anyway. Happy new year from the guys and girls at Johnny Uppercut!!
