“The Burma is rebellious and bold.” The Spill Magazine [On ‘Hard to Say’] “The song is bursting with an electric, Foster the People meets Arctic Monkeys energy.” Variance Magazine “Taking their cue from arena-filling indie rock, they couple this with a poignant sense of intimacy.” CLASH Magazine [‘Same Again’] “A dancey, glowing indie rock number” The Rolling Stone India “Jamming out in front of roving lyrics, the band infuses intensity into the fun, upbeat instrumentals.” Hot Press “‘Sleepers’ opens on swirling, psychedelic colors flowing into a deliciously kaleidoscopic melody riding a potent rhythm.” Medium.com/ Pop Off Bold indie rock trio The Burma will be sharing their long-awaited album, Sucker For Stars, on the 14th of October via The Burma Music. With the release of their LP, listeners are invited to discover the yet-to-be-heard title track, which will be featured alongside the band’s chart-topping single ‘Don’t Believe Your Dreams’, a record that rose to No.1 in the Irish iTunes single charts and landed at No.6 in The Homegrown Top 20 in the Official Charts. Also taken from their album is the single ‘Sleepers’, which climbed its way to No.4 on Irish iTunes and No.12 on The Homegrown Top 20. It is unsurprising that noteworthy tastemaker publications have praised the band, namely The Spill Magazine, Variance Magazine, RTÉ XM, CLASH Magazine, Rolling Stone India, Hot Press and Medium.com/ Pop Off, to mention a few, and received extensive national airplay, collecting over 140k streams across platforms. Sucker For Stars is a rocker’s fantasy. Like a new band poster, the album offers fans a vivid image of what The Burma stands for as a band, printed in high gloss. A few of the featured tracks thrash lawlessly, inciting miniature musical riots while other ballad-type records live together in gently strummed harmony. With only guitars, drums, and vocals, The Burma has written an album that is rich and dynamic. Proudly local, the band takes its name from The Burma Steps in Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland. Its members are Tony O’Donovan (on vocals) and Peter Piggott (on guitar) who are both from Cobh as well as Cian Doherty (on drums) who is from Doolin Co. Clare. Drawing inspiration from The Strokes, Tame Impala and Daft Punk, the band has created a signature sound comparable to Glass Animals, MGMT and Foster the People. The Burma muses on the making of their LP: “Sucker For Stars is a body of work which we officially started two and a half years ago - although it‘s been much longer in the making. The album represents two different sounds for us - the first, made up of 6 older songs which we’ve held onto over the years- and then 5 brand new songs showing where our writing style is at in its current form. It’s a milestone moment for us to have our debut album out in the world, it’s been a long time coming.” Sucker For Stars LP Tracklist: 1. Out in The Heat 2. Dont Believe Your Dreams 3. Sucker For Stars 4. Sleepers 5. Magazine Road 6. Mike and Simone 7. Into The Light 8. Same Again 9. Hard to Say 10. Love Fades 11. Golden Gir
