Description:
Proof that Jersey is good for something other than polluted beaches and bad drivers, Burnt to Ashes formed in June of 2003, which evolved into a 5 peice core band from Ocean County, NJ. It all started with the break up of Shackled Humanity. Jim, Mike, and Dave Hoosack then began to work on new project moving in a totally different direction. In the process of writing new material a small set back arose when Dave began showing little interest in the band and was then kicked out. Jim and Mike continued playing together for a few weeks until they found a classified ad of a bassist looking for a band; within a couple weeks Kevin Bollinger tryed out and joined the band. Still searching for a vocalist, Carmen came and tried out a few times. After jamming with the band for a couple weeks, he was eventually inducted into BTA. Burnt to Ashes played their first show in July of 2003. They then hit the studio in August to record their first EP entiled Baptized in Lies and False Hopes which contains five tracks and is currently on sale for $5. When September rolled around Kevin was forced to quit due to college. BTA was now in search of a bassist and a second guitarist. Jim and Carmen noticed a kid in their vocational school wearing a Poision the Well shirt, but neither wanted to talk to him because he had a mustache. So they argued about who had to talk to him for a few minutes, until Carmen finally approached the kid, who turned out to be Roy(he only had one mustache at the time), and found out that he played bass. BTA then tryed to set up a date for him to try out for a couple weeks until one was arranged until Roy tryed to ride Jim and Carmen's bus home from school and the school wouldn't let him on because they thought he was twenty six. A few days later he finally made it to try out and joined BTA. They were then left with just finding a second guitarist. After trying out a couple guitarists who weren't up to par Jim and Carmen were sitting in class and heard The Absence being played from the other side of the room by some kid they had never talked to before. They then talked to him and asked him if he wanted to try out. Kyle then came and joined BTA, finishing the band's lineup. Burnt to Ashes is currently working on new material that will be featured on their first full length album, tentatively titled Manifestation of Human Bloodlust. Recording of the album is planned to begin end of summer/beginning of fall and will hopefully be available for sale by the end of 2004. And just in case you were concerned, Roy STILL only has one mustache. In May of 2004 Roy was kicked out because he shaved his mustache and Kevin was re-inducted as the bassist of the band.
