Black Rose Burning

George Grant instrumentalist, producer, engineer and former live show bassist for Aurelio Voltaire, created the project in 2018, in NYC, NY. The music is a very unique combination of Goth, Postpunk, Synthwave, Rock and Shoegaze. George and drummer/synth player Luis Infantas come bearing multi-generational influences that accept no boundaries, but still maintains an overall succinct flow and feel. 40 years of solid songwriting (across many genres) has helped George embellish on well established hooks reminiscent of bands like Tears For Fears and the Church, matched with the drive and determination of acts such as The Chameleons and Peter Gabriel. Include the gothic-pop sensibilities of early Cult and The Cure and BRB does some very creative dusting off, updating and recreation of this early “alternative/goth magic”. The soulful vocal delivery is a standout feature of the songs - one that instantly and immeadiatley recognizable, and sets the music apart from most others.
Fans of a whole new breed of bands such as Drab Majesty, Actors, Twin Tribes and Then Comes Silence, will enjoy the extremely soulful vocals, unique grooves and top level instrumentation captured here. Described as “postgothic-earworms”, BRB creates mini stories within each unique song - and memorable chorus’ are plentiful.
The live show is especially powerful and has won the band many new fans. They have played all over North America and have played festivals including Absolution Fest (Tampa, FL) Wykd Wknd (Raleigh, NC) A Murder Of Crows (NYC) and Spellbound (Hudson Valley, NY)
BRB have also released 3 albums, 2 singles a remix e.p. band an acoustic e.p. that showcases their versatility.
Black Rose Burning have also collaborated with notable genre bands including, Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls), Delphine Coma, The Long Lost, Ashes Fallen, Hallowed Hearts and many more.
