Continue readingSingle Review: The Burroughs – “My House My Car”
The Burroughs continue to progress their sound while retaining some of the retro vibe that first captured the hearts of Northern Colorado: 70’s and 80’s musical tropes, a flirtatious female response chorus, loud synth and their 4-piece Stax-style horns.

“Our fans are the best people on earth,” guitarist/singer Curtis Heimburger said.
