Rhode Island shows coming up!

"They seem tailor made for Victory Records."

-Justin Gaines, Hardrock Haven

Since forming in the summer of 2007, Burn the Effigy has quickly risen from obscurity by meticulously integrating earsplitting guitar chords, incisive bass lines and dominating percussion. Uprising from the streets of Providence, Rhode Island, these boys have maintained a no-nonsense attitude about their unified, yet, diverse sound that echoes remnants of bands such as Bad Religion, Tool, and Brand New. The band members, Greg Baker, vocals/guitar; Nick McGowan, bass/vocals; and Joe a.k.a.-Viper Goncalves, drums, have taken the local music scene by storm and are showing no signs of letting up.

After releasing their Self-Titled EP in early 2008, Burn the Effigy has demanded immediate attention. With their Smart Rock lyrics and emotionally charged choruses highly contrasted by deafening screams, its hard to not give this band a closer look. Not unlike their first release, Burn the Effigys debut album entitled, How to Catch on Fire, serves as a testament as to how this alterna-punk power trio can take indifference and flip it on its ear.
