Burning Love is a hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada formed in 2007. The band consists Chris Colohan of the hardcore band Cursed and of the ex-members of Toronto-based sludge band Our Father. The band have released two albums, two EPs and a number of split singles.
Burning Love started in 2007 as a side project to the Toronto bands Cursed and Our Father. This lineup included Colohan (ex-Cursed), a prominent figure in the Canadian hardcore scene, and Our Father members bassist Dave O'Connor, guitarists Pat Marshall and Andrus Meret, and drummer Easton Lannaman. While the band began recording their first EP in 2007, it was abandoned due to their dissatisfaction with the recording (most of the songs would appear on their 2009 demo cassette and EP). It was not until the sudden breakup of Cursed that the band began (in 2008/2009) writing and recording full-time.
Following the dissolution of Cursed in 2008, Burning Love recorded a 10-minute demo and released it on 8-track tape and free digital download. The demo was later pressed into a self-titled 7 inch in 2009 and released first on British label Thirty Days of Night Records (to coincide with a UK tour), and then domestically 24 April 2010 on Deranged Records.
In February and March 2010, the band recorded their first full-length in Toronto with producer-musician Ian Blurton. On the 25 April 2010, the band released the 7" single "Don't Ever Change" b/w "Jack the Ripper" on Deranged Records. A European version with an alternate cover (limited to 500) was released in November 2010 to coincide with a full tour of Europe and the UK. In January 2011 David O'Connor left the band and was replaced on bass by Alex Goodall (aka "Hawk"). A live split LP with friends and tour mates Coliseum was recorded 27 June 2010 at the Atlantic in Gainesville, Florida during the tour. The live album was released 12 July 2011 by Tee Pee Records and Sound Study Recordings.
The Rotten Thing To Say LP was recorded and produced by Kurt Ballou at God City in Salem, Massachusetts and released on Southern Lord Records in June 2012. The band toured Canada, Australia and a full US tour with Black Breath, Sweden's Martyrdod and Enabler, featuring Poison Idea and others. Guitarist Andrus Meret left the band in 2012; his last show with the band was the Rotten Things to Say release show in Toronto.
