BURNING DOWN VEGA$ (ALBUM OUT NOW!)

About Me


The CD's are located on the 1st floor in the Local Music section.
We are Burning Down Vegas, a four-piece Hardcore Punk Rock band from West Berkshire. We formed in November 2006 under the name of Burning Down Vegas which came from an Elvis Presley album called 'Burn Down Vegas'. Our sound is a fusion of the band member’s favourite genres. This is our own unique sound, which we write and play for ourselves and not for our fans. We are all about the time when rock music was about 'The Music' and not the hairstyles, cloths, costumes or face paint, although our influences might tell you otherwise. Since we formed we have played several shows all over the south of the UK. Reviews of our past gigs are available in our blogs. Have a listen to our songs and let us know what you think! Don’t forget to check out our Pics, Videos and Blogs!

WE ARE 'NEO DEATH PUNK!'

(Help us support this new genre)

The song 'Inner Demons Rapt. Dept Remix' in our music list was remixed by Mike from rapt. dept in March 2008.

Discography

We are a non profitable band, the money we make from selling our CD's goes towards paying for recording, new equipment, petrol money or renting out venues for other gigs.
If any promotion companies would like a copy of our CD's we shall send one to you for free!
