BURN THE RAIN

BURN THE RAIN

Kannon Steinmeyer

How do you burn the rain? We don't know. What we do know is that when you mix the sounds of grunge, metal, and a little bit of punk, you get Burn The Rain, the three piece live band from the southwestern suburbs of Chicago, formed around records made ala Foo Fighters circa 1995, and Mammoth, influenced by bands such as the aforementioned Foo Fighters, Mammoth, Linkin Park, and Nirvana, (and many more). The consistent members are Joey and Dan, with the best drummers they know, Eli and Michael, on call to provide the thundering beats. No Burn The Rain performance is ever the same, and they have no intention of changing that now.
