Burn Us Both are a 4-piece rock band located in Cork but hailing from various areas in the West Cork region. After agreeing to create a new band on a drunken night out in the summer of 2005, the original line-up of Kevin Mulcahy, Damien O'Brien, Liam Urwin and Donogh Hurley would stumble across a name with the help of the dashing Clive Owen in the smash hit that was 'Sin City'.A year of gigging which saw the lads gradually build up a name for themselves on the Cork music scene brought about a change in the line-up. Omah Stevens, once a villain in an episode of Batman, was drafted in on guitar and the lads have proceded to gig up and down the country to everyone and anyone who ll listen ever since.With various interests and attitudes towards music, BuB draw inspiration from bands such as Reuben, At The Drive-In, biffy clyro, oceansize, Bloc Party, Jimmy Eat World, QOTSA, Berkeley, Sonic Youth, Opeth, Mastodon, Future Kings Of Spain, dinosaur jr. The Frames, and everything in between. It is this diverse outlook that helps the band find the hybridity that doesn't tie them down to one genre in particular. BuB's songs are laced with pop-tinged choruses and pumping, intricate riffs which do their very best to create havoc in your head.Having already played alongside some great Irish bands such as Humanzi, stanley super 800, Future Kings Of Spain, plus shed loads of great Cork bands (far too many to mention) a co headline tour of the country in summer 2007 with fellow rap scallions sideproject burn us both hope to continue doing what they do to who ll ever listen for as long as possible-------------------------"Burn Us Both have a way with a riff and 'Captain Planet' is no exception blessed as it is with intricate needling guitars" - Don O’Mahony, Evening Echo.---------------------------------"Burn Us Both are a straight up guitar rock band and what they do, they do exceedingly well.
