The band began to play together in the spring of 2002. At first HeartBurn was trio playing covers but we soon became tired of playing the same songs that everybody does. So we started to write our own songs and tried to find our own "band".
Soon we realised that trio didn't work for us, so we found a bass player and became a four-piece band. We recorded our first demo in the summer of 2003, with two of our own songs and one cover. We also did gigs, mostly in the northern part of Finland. The other demo was done in the spring of 2004 and included 4 songs.
In the summer of 2004 we had a line up change when our bass player J. Niemi had to leave the band. We soon found a replacement when V. Linnala joined the band. We did a couple of gigs in 2004. In the spring of 2005 we recorded the latest demo (I call the demo Northern Souls). The song American Dream won a national radio contest and got air time.
In the winter of 2005 HeartBurn was picked to head the Rovaniemi Popcity2006-project that helps the band and promotes it around Finland. Now we are getting ready to release a single and a EP-South and also starting a very busy summer. We also had a few line-up changes when Jarkko Lahtinen (gtr) and Wesku Puikko (organ) joined the band
