Burn EP, is a thrilling three-track blitz that refuses to let up. This EP doesn’t just command your attention; it demands it with a raw, unfiltered, and infectious energy.“Burn,” pulls you into a whirlwind of gritty guitar riffs that feel like they’ve been forged in the fiery pits of punk rock’s golden era. The track is a fierce anthem for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in a monotonous small-town life. With the added brass section there is a nostalgic yet refreshing feel, a nod to the ska and soul influences that have always bubbled beneath the surface of punk, and it works to perfection here.“Karma,” taps into the raw, confrontational spirit of punk, with a tale of justice being served cold to an overzealous cop. The guitar arpeggio threads its way through the song, while the vocals makes you want to throw a fist in the air and scream along, its energy relentless and unapologetic. “Still Not Dead,” is an unflinching tribute to the die-hard punks who never gave up, who’ve weathered every storm and come out the other side with the message: be yourself, no matter the cost. Musically, it’s a toe-tapping, upbeat number that channels the melodic sensibilities of Stiff Little Fingers, complete with jangly guitars that could have easily been lifted from Sex Pistols playbook. In a world where punk rock can sometimes feel like it’s lost its way, Burn is a potent reminder of what makes the genre so vital in the first place. It’s music that’s meant to be felt as much as heard, music that makes you want to move, to shout, to rebel. Bullitz 23 may be paying homage to their influences, but they’re also carving out their own path, one that’s as exciting as it is unpredictable. This is an EP that demands your attention from start to finish, and by the time it’s over, you’ll be left craving more. And in true punk fashion, that’s exactly how it should be.CD - Bonus track, a demo version of “Burn” that features the incendiary guitar work of Gizz Butt, known for his work with English Dogs and The Prodigy.
