THIS BURNING AGE: Experienced Guitarist Wanted
Wanted
in birmingham
Birmingham based Alt-Electro-Rock band THIS BURNING AGE are looking for an experienced lead guitarist.
Although currently Unsigned we've been tour support for the likes of Hundred Reasons and Engineers and recieve airplay on Kerrang, Radio WM, Alex Zane's Myspace Radio, Radio WM, Stourbridge Radio, Midlands Rocks Radio and Scratch Radio. Our members are all experienced musicians and active in other established bands (e.g. PWEI), we've just released our debut album "A Muzzle for the Masses" (released on our own label), and we're about to record our second album.
You must be committed, technically proficient, have live experience, gig regularly and want to take your music as far as possible.
Our sound encompasses distorted, layered wall of sound guitars and guitar/synth riffs juxtaposed with stark, angular synth lines and soundscapes, melding live drums with electro beats and driving bass. The second album will retain aspects of the first i.e. still very riff-based with multi-layered instrumentation, but moving in a darker, heavier, more industrial direction in places. With this in mind, prospective guitarists should be comfortable working with effects, both in the studio and on stage and have an open mind in their approach to playing and recording. Prior knowledge and experience of working with backing tracks, MIDI/synths/electronica and DAW recording is a definite plus but not essential.
Visit http://www.facebook.com/thisburningage?sk=app_2405167945 to hear tracks from the first album and a work-in-progress Pre Production Demo from the second Album.

Here’s a small selection of what people within the music industry and fans are saying about This Burning Age:
The best new band in Birmingham - LIVEBrum
Interpol meets Sonic Youth in thoughtful, dark “alt-electro-rock”...they deserve attention - Birmingham Live Review
Every once in a while a band comes along that that defies the current practice of genre pigeon holing, This Burning Age are just such a band. Technically it’s quite brilliant. You find complex layers of distorted guitars and synths, with dark, brooding drum and bass lines. The use of analogue equipment rather than the more modern digital equivalents give it a real retro feel without losing the up to date minimalist approach. I can almost imagine Eno doing something like this. A stunning debut album. - Midlands Rocks Online Music Magazine
This band are one of my “Midlands bands to watch out for” - Emma Scott - Radio DJ/Promoter (Kerrang Radio, Q Radio, Heart FM)
'Human Condition' holds a Duran Duran-esque suaveness while maintaining the credibility that comes with good, hard-hitting rock music. In a world where young bands think that a few flashy wailings from a Happy Meal synthesizer make their music electronic, This Burning Age really know what they're doing and where the right noises fit. Whether it's the apocalyptic groans of 'Repeat To Fade' or the oddly uplifting 'End Game', this album is a goddamn glorious example of electro/industrial/what-have-you rock. Your ears need this wonderful punishment. - Black Velvet Magazine
I believe you have the potential to go all the way and more, that the album is stronger than much of what is currently polluting the music industry - Vince Appleby - Scout for Universal Music Group
The music has a real edge and passion - Paul Murphy - founder of Songwriters Café and formerly of “The Destroyers”
A whole lot of passion, work, thoughts and emotions have been put into ‘A Muzzle for the Masses’. It’s audible in every note that’s being played and word that’s being sung. The record’s going to send you on a rollercoaster ride through various emotional states and by all means should be checked out by any fan of ambitious, electronic/rock music. I think this band’s got a bright future ahead of them - “Reflections of Darkness” - German Online Music Magazine
‘A Muzzle for the Masses’ is a prodigious achievement and a work of singular imagination. Live, this formidably skilled band of intuitive, dynamic, driven musicians share blissful barrages of beautifully heavy guitars, often drenched, but subtly nuanced by pedal effects, samples and loops, creating a sensual, consuming feast of aural intoxication. There’s an insightful, urgent intelligence at work here demonstrating a richness of lyricism and narrative contexts; accentuated by disarming modesty, complimented by an unshakable self-conviction. What do they sound like? Implacably, and foremost, themselves alone - John Kennedy for Birmingham Live!
