The Burning Sun / Ex-Temper / Seeds of Sun

The Burning Sun: Our music is indie-rock, heavy on the harmonies, with punchy bass and intricate drumming. We draw inspiration from The Cranberries, Neko Case and REM.

Ex-Temper: Ex-Temper creates pivoting, unpredictable, guitar-driven rock layered with catchy melodies and three-part vocal harmonies. Once described as “Fugazi meets the Andrews Sisters” and credited with playing “heavy, head-banging riffs,” their lyrics explore everything from heartbreak and obsession, to prominent social issues like police brutality, mass shootings, the inefficiency of white guilt, and mansplaining; as well as mysteries like the Green Children of Woolpit, and existential questions such as if an organ donor’s consciousness or memories can be transplanted into the recipient’s mind.
