SIT STILL

by BURNING STREETS

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.

    Released in September 2011 "SIT STILL" is the sophomore release for Boston based punk rockers BURNING STREETS. Produced by ex-Far From Finished drummer Marc Cannatta, "SIT STILL" is 11 heavy hitting tracks that are great to listen to whether you're on a cross country road trip or relaxing with a beer on the front porch with some close friends. Compared to the band's first release "IS IT IN BLACK AND WHITE?" (2009) this CD drifts away from the more anthemic, street punk styling of the first and hits home with songs of lost friends, broken relationships and shattered efforts.

    Thank you.

Disappointed 03:58
I've got ideas running through my head to a melody Singing songs about better company Well we're running out of space now We're running out of breath! I don't want this story line to define who we are [CHORUS] I'm holding on and I'm praying that we'll figure it out But I'm only gonna be disappointed I'm holding on and I'm praying that we'll figure it out But I'm only gonna be disappointed <i>What are we screaming about!?</i> Keep the papers print in black and white That's the world's true colors, so I sleep tonight Well we're running into problems, We sail against the wind We're screaming at a wall I just don't want to talk [CHORUS] <I>What are we screaming about?!</i> We gotta let things go (we gotta let this go!) [CHORUS]

Choked out by bleeding hands As I kiss the lips of a new romance When it all goes wrong It just feels so right I watch this world as it watches me In complicated simplicity Stumble through the dark to run through the light Folded arms tell a thousand words But I don't hear one that I deserve Free from your mind, stuck to your toungue Close the book and I'm moving on It's easy to admit the path is gone When standing alone means no more pain There's no more ways to drive yourself insane No, No, No [CHORUS] Will it burn long enough to make a mockery out of the things we trust? I needed you-to remind me of the things I shouldn't do You like to kick me when I was down I got a habit of turning around I got a thicker skin, I got scars to prove every fight I'm in. I needed you-to remind me of the things I shouldn't do You like to kick me when I was down I made a habit of turning around Take my hand and we'll walk this line To a place that I was forced to spend my time Trying to figure out the difference between dreams and nightmares And every spirit's shackled to the ground Makes us want to burn this place down [CHORUS] I know things have changed, but more have stayed the same But I'm not complaining Why do we give our souls to those who don't have their own? So burn like the last fading star I'm busy rebuilding my heart So I can give it to the angel who ripped off her halo Burn, Burn, Burn Burn, Burn, Burn...

about

BURNING STREETS is a high energy, hard-working punk rock band from Boston, MA. Founded in late 2007 current members include brothers Drew & Mike Juliano, Steve Zarba, Dave D’Elia and Chris Day. Burning Streets have leveraged their passion for music and commitment to friendship to keep the flame burning.
Since the day they turned the key to start an old, yellow GMC van they have learned to cultivate the passions and attitudes that are synonymous with this lifestyle. Burning Streets has spent the last few years motoring across the country, North, South, East and West. Their music has given them the power to penetrate the borders of Canada and Europe.

The band has released two full lengths to date, “Is it in Black and White?”-2009 and “Sit Still”-2011 were released on Sailors Grave Records (US)/I Hate People Records (EU). The band is planning releasing their third full length record in 2017.

Since beginning Burning Streets has focused hard on touring and spreading their own brand of music as far and wide as possible. Throughout this journey the band has been able to support larger acts, both regionally and nationally such as Street Dogs, Big D and the Kids Table, Far From Finished, The Ducky Boys, Mad Sin (DE), Blitzkid, The Business, Avoid One Thing, Dead To Me, The Dickies, Sloppy Seconds, The Casualties, Krum Bums, Static Thought, Pipes & Pints (CZ), Angry Samoans, The Queers, G.B.H. as well as direct support tours with Dead Kennedys, Ten Foot Pole and Reagan Youth.
