about
Orléans, France's Burning Heads have been releasing albums for longer than some of their fans have been alive. Their latest album, the aptly named Torches of Freedom (2022) keeps the fire they started in 1987 roaring. Since then, they have released no less than 14 albums, plus a many EPs, b-sides compilations and splits thrown in for good measure. Following 3 albums on French indie record labels, Burning Heads (1992), Dive (1994), Super Modern World (1996) and two back-to-back albums on Epitaph Europe with some of the most memorable melodic punk hits, 1998's Be One With the Flames and 1999's Escape, les Burning – as they are referred to by their native fans – released their first dub album, Opposite (2001), finally putting to disc the musical bridge between two styles too many considered opposites, a bridge they'd been building live for 15 years. 2004 saw the release of the more introspective and excellent Taranto (Sony France / Yelen Musiques), followed by an electro-punk side project called Never Trust a Punk…, released in common with Alif Sound System under a shared name: BHASS Project, further proof if anyone needed it of their musical diversity. Punk rock is never far with the Burning Heads, and Bad Time For Human Kind, and the band self-recorded and self-released their 2006 in a traditional DIY way, returning to full-throttle melodic punk rock with a firm hardcore backbone. In 2007, they kept the dub fire going with Opposite 2, and in 2009 released Spread the Fire.
