Mark from Burnt Ones sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: I just listened to “Ballad of Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)” by George Harrison … it’s the last song on a mix I made for the site Mixtape///Mountain. That song is so good … check the mix out, should be up now or soon or something.

Streamable: Ballad of Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) (youtube)

q: What is your favorite beverage?

a: Red wine … I’m not picky. Actually pretty dumb / “whatever” about my wine selection.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: Probably Thee Oh Sees. They are consistently mind-blowing live and they make great records very quickly.

Downloadables:
I Was Denied (mp3)
Ghost in the Trees (mp3)
Ruby Go Home (mp3)
Tidal Wave (mp3)

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: I think Cake Shop might be the only place I’ve played in New York that I really enjoyed, but hopefully that changes. My old band played Death By Audio a few years ago; which was a really cool spot but no one was really there that night.

q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?

a: Cassette tapes coming back in to the fold. Lot’s of good tape labels right now … I’m mostly excited cause the Burnt Ones van only has a tape deck.

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: Burnt Ones should have another 7-inch coming out this summer and possibly a cassette release coming as well. Lots of new Burnt Ones songs, just figuring out what to do with them at this point.

Downloadables:
Bury Me In Smoke (mp3)
Kaleidoscope Eyes (mp3)
Soft City (mp3)
Gonna Sit Up and Listen to T. Rex (All Night Long) (Daytrotter Session) (mp3)

We Are Hex hail from Indianapolis. The quartet use aggression and experimentation in just the right proportions. They know exactly how to push the postpunk envelope. The August 3rd release date for their second LP Hail The Goer (also the second Roaring Colonel release) is rapidly approaching. Listen.
