Our music exists because of the tremendous energies of a small but dedicated number of people who are consistently putting forth their best creative works. By the very nature of the eclectic and multi-talented people who comprise the band, BURNT manages to avoid the one-dimensionality so common in the contemporary world of art. From hip hop to reggae to punk rock and ska—BURNT has made their home at the crossroads of cultures that is at the heart of underground music. Since 2003 the band has been active in both performance and songwriting. In the five years since its inception BURNT has self-produced over 40 tracks spanning three unique and colorful albums, each one distinct for its time and place—their approach to musicmaking can only be described as fearless. Without regard for words like “genre” and “image”, BURNT dives headfirst into uncharted musical waters. The band has performed for audiences in Mexico, Canada, and much of the West Coast of the United States. Armed with their musical message of social and environmental justice, BURNT has never hesitated to take the stage on behalf of a wide variety of causes important to them, including: the Save Trestles campaign to save San Onofre State Beach, WildCoast’s Clean Water Now action to save the Tijuana Estuary, UCSD STAND’s ongoing battle to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, to benefit the American Cancer Society, TsunamiAid, Katrina Relief and more. In the future, BURNT will continue to wow audiences and listeners around the world with their danceable revolutionary rhythms and consciousness raising rhymes.

ROME (Reuters) - Rastafarians caught in possession of marijuana in Italy may now have legal recourse, thanks to a high court ruling made public on Thursday.
Italy’s Court of Cassation ruled that since the Rastafari religion considers marijuana a sacrament, its members should be given special consideration when it comes to possession — and how much makes a drug trafficker.
The case before the judges dealt with a reggae musician who was sentenced to 16 months in prison by a lower court in Perugia after being found in possession of enough marijuana to roll 70 cigarettes.
The Court of Cassation annulled his sentence, saying the amount appeared appropriate for personal use considering the heavy amounts that Rastafarians smoke, and ordered an appellate court in Florence to review the case.
