IO Exclusive Album Stream: Burnt Books - s/t

South Carolina sludge-punk crew Burnt Books take notes from bands like Mastodon, Melvins, Today is The Day, and Kylesa to form their odd and toxic brew of maleficence. Conveniently enough, Kylesa’s Philip Cope lends his skills behind the boards to make the band’s self-titled debut for At a Loss appropriately crunchy and anti-social. Stream all of Burnt Books’ LP for the first time ahead of its release date (1/29), and catch the band on the road at the dates below.
