Burden Brothers started in Dallas in 2002 as a side project for singer, songwriter and guitarist Vaden Todd Lewis and drummer Taz Bentley, and the side project quickly grew teeth of its own. The debut EP that year carried "Beautiful Night", a slab of hard rock with a moody streak running through it.
Buried in Your Black Heart followed in 2003, and "Shadow" lives up to the album's title: dark, brooding riffs, a heavy, grinding groove and Lewis's voice snarling somewhere between menace and heartbreak. The band recorded for Kirtland Records.
The band went on indefinite hiatus when a Toadies reunion and other interests took over, then came back to play the Dia De Los Toadies festival in September 2015. The lineup today is Lewis on vocals and guitar, Bentley on drums and vocals, and Casey Hess on guitar and vocals.
