Playing our last show for the foreseeable future on Saturday. A free annual festival raising awareness about mental health. Attending the event 2 years ago inspired me to put together this band. If you're near the southern Willamette Valley, come check it out!

Man, shout out to @onetwoxu.de radio in Germany, who apparently have played our songs 32 times on their station over the last year. That means a lot to these random dudes in Eugene, OR who self-release their own music.

I feel seen. Lol.
Review of our album from the latest Razorcake: "For their latest, self-titled release The Burrow have given us a solid post-punk album. All ten tracks are good. Not transformative, but good. Lead singer Pete Normal’s rasp is something akin to Chuck Ragan’s, which adds a layer of rawness to the otherwise polished songs. –Caitlin Santavenere"

Well dang. I was a little afraid of what reviewers would say about our album, and after 10+ weeks, I wasn’t sure anyone would be reviewing it at all, but this is deeply flattering. Maybe the nicest review a band of mine has ever gotten. Thanks MRR and Robert Collins!
Review from MaximumRockNRoll by Robert Collins: "Killer PNW shit with shades of heavy alt/grunge and ’90s melodic punk. Every song feels like a dead simple earworm that will make other musicians wonder “why didn’t I think of those two chords?!”, while regular listers will be drawn in by super-fuzzed guitars and a rhythm section that lands somewhere between KARP and WIPERS fronted by gruff, melodic, and poetic vocals. Looking for modern comparisons? The BURROW hit me like the first time(s) I heard CRIMINAL DAMAGE and SMOKERS, which is high praise from this lowly reviewer. There’s a just world where this shit is absolutely huge, the songs and the delivery are that good…I just don’t think this world is ready."

I'm the type of person who liked it better before we all had computers in our pockets, but seeing our stuff getting played on the radio in Cincinnati, getting reviews in Germany, and filling orders to send off our CD to Iowa, I will grudgingly admit that the internet can be kind of cool.

I think I've taken The Ramones for granted for much of my life, and because of this, I just want to say that there are few songs as perfect as I Don't Care. Why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick?

Exciting news! Still somehow an underrated band. I had the honor of sharing the stage with them at one of their earliest shows, and they were phenomenal. Soon after I became roommates and band mates with Marceo, and I was fortunate to have him drum on the first Burrow album, Inherit a War.

LO freakin' L. Just discovered that two album tracks on the version we sent out for digital distribution are completely silent. If you've saved the album on your favorite streaming service, we will have a new version with the fixed audio hopefully very soon!

Sending music out for review is such a strange experience. I think I'm pretty aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a musician and songwriter, but I just have to cross my fingers and hope that A) it piques the interest of anyone to review it, and B) they can relate to it enough to say nice things.

I'm proud of the album we just mixed, but am realizing that most labels don't want to put $ into releasing music by some random band, no matter how good it is. Q: do we just release it on Bandcamp now and then make limited physical copies later? Or wait and release phys media and streaming at once?

Our album is nearly done being mixed, and I think maybe it’s good(?), but I’ve heard the mixes so many times and scrutinized it all so much that it makes me feel almost nothing. I hope it can at least make other people feel something.

A top 3 band for me in terms of musical and philosophical influence, whether you can hear it in our current music or not. There is a spark in this one that I honestly have not heard since maybe Times of Grace. A wonderful gift on the first day of spring.

We rush released this yesterday for the national shutdown. French Disko, originally recorded by Stereolab. We need more protest songs right now. Find it on Tidal, Apple Music, YouTube music, etc. Stay strong, stay safe. Solidarity.
