Band United States Active 2000–2007
Socialburn formed in 2000 in the United States and was active until 2007. Socialburn has 8 chart appearances on 8 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2002–2005. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Down”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #16. The station that charted Socialburn most often is WCCC The Rock (Hartford, CT), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2003.
Socialburn came out of Blountstown, Florida, a four-piece post-grunge band formed in 2000 that did the groundwork the old-fashioned way, with two independent albums, What a Beautiful Waste and World Outside, before Elektra signed them in 2002. Their major-label debut, Where You Are, arrived in 2003 and gave them two singles, "Down" and "Everyone": thick, crunchy guitars, brooding verses and choruses that open up like a storm breaking.
The timing was cruel. When Elektra's parent company, Time Warner, merged with AOL, the band got dropped, so they regrouped on the small iRock Entertainment label and released The Beauty of Letting Go in 2005, "Touch the Sky" included. They toured behind it and then split up in late 2007, a band that never quite got the break its choruses deserved.
