BIOGRAPHY
The Slow Burners formed in Denton, Tx in Summer 2007 when George Neal (formerly of the band Little Grizzly ) and the members of the Denton/Dallas band Sunday Drive decided to join forces after playing a few songs together at the going away party of some mutual friends. Initially called The George Neal Band out of sheer laziness the band eventually settled on the name The Slow Burners at the suggestion of their drummer, Grady, who generally doesn't take a whole lot of guff.
The band combines the songwriting of the former Little Grizzly front man with the inventive and well-honed musicianship of the former members of Sunday Drive in a way that draws upon a diverse variety of styles and moods. The Slow Burners offer up delicate, folksy ballads, punk intensity, thick layers of overlapping guitar and keyboard textures, gut wrenching storytelling, and barn burning rock and roll. Despite these seemingly disparate styles, the Slow Burners put it all together in a cohesive and satisfying package.
The Slow Burners are currently recording their debut album which will be released in the early Fall of 2008. A six song CD EP entitled, "Returning to the Air" was released May 2, 2008 on their own Holy War Records label and contains one track from the forthcoming album.
INK
"...Neal has returned with a new band, The Slow Burners. And the man behind the project now seems more enthused than ever about playing and writing.The group has just released its first EP, Returning to the Air—a precursor to the full-length effort the band plans to release later this year—and to be sure, the same lyrical suffering continues on this release. Doomed soldiers, cancer patients and failed fathers populate Returning to the Air in a tableau of calamity that will feel familiar to longtime Grizzly fans. It's the result of Neal gravitating toward characters that are forced to ask the big questions..."
Dallas Observer - June 5, 2008.
"...George Neal and the Slow Burners took the excitement level up a notch with some downright blistering folk rock. Neal's a joy to watch with his raw, sometimes screaming vocals and spirited marching movements. The former Little Grizzly frontman has one of those voices that I'll forever associate with Denton itself, and it's good to see he's found a new band that can be equally as affecting."
