Details:
INDIANBURN is a five-piece rock band based out of Brooklyn NY and central NJ. They have released two recording projects (The Red Demo 2004, INDIANBURN EP 2007) and are currently playing out regularly in the NJ/NY/PA area. All five members have been writing, recording, and performing original music, separately and together, for over a decade.

The founding four members (Chris Belding, Barry Holsten, Greg Jarrow, and Markus Jarrow) officially fused in 2003, bringing their individual volumes of material together and to the stage. In 2005, Belding decided to focus solely on vocals and Jason Fritz stepped in on bass guitar, becoming the fifth and final element. Although new to INDIANBURN, Jason had crossed paths with several members of the band in previous projects, and added years of diverse and improvisational musicianship to the band's chemistry.

Unbound by any particular sound or genre, INDIANBURN writes music that spans generations. As a vocalist, Belding has been described as the love child of David Bowie and Elvis Costello. On stage, he seems to involuntarily channel the forces of Joe Cocker and Godzilla, creating a captivating presence that dominates audiences. Musically, the band draws from the guitar-driven sounds of 70's and 90's rock, bringing together two guitars, backing vocals, and a bi-polar rhythm section to layer harmonies and melodies, both delicate and aggressive, that perfectly fill the space that they create. The final product is a sound reminiscent of a little bit of everything, but more like a lot of nothing you've ever heard before - at least not in a while. They call it lawnrock. Spend some time with their music and you will soon begin to enjoy the magic that exists within it.

A six song self-produced EP, The Red Demo, was released in June 2004. The band finished recording a full-length album in the spring of 2006 (title to be announced), and has been distributing the INDIANBURN EP to showcase the record. A digital single and video for "In a World", a sonically intriguing journey into the mind of autism, is scheduled for release in June 2007 to coincide with the launch of their innovative website, www.indianburn.com.

INDIANBURN is looking to go as far as their music will take them, and with more than two albums worth of unrecorded and unheard material in the vault, the band appears to be planning far ahead. With each new song that they write, they push their own boundaries but somehow always keep it INDIANBURN. They don't appear to have any intentions of slowing down. Stay tuned for the lawnrock revolution...
