A Band Of Buriers are an alternative folk band with a rare blend of hypnotic spoken word and haunting melodies. The combination of folk, classical arrangements and vocal harmonies with Beatnik-esque spoken word and poetry creates a sound that is likened as much to Leonard Cohen or Nick Cave as it is Allan Ginsberg or Saul Williams. Their intimate live performance is now firmly cemented as one of the finest shows to catch on the UK folk circuit.
‘Filth is raw, vital… real.‘ Clash
‘The lyrical prowess and swell of sinister cello drones and hymnal choirs make ‘Filth’ a solemn and poetic debut.’‘ The Fly
‘A Band Of Buriers concoct a curious, bewitching broth which moans with mournful strings and minor-chord guitars. what’s so outstanding about their music is James P Honey’s vocal delivery: steeped in ‘alternative-rap’ culture and with a firm belief in blending genres.‘ Rough Trade
‘Like a modern-day Leonard Cohen, A Band of Buriers offer a pick ‘n’ mix bag of tricks: epic, cello-accompanied spoken word; intense, ukulele-laced folk; a troupe of backing singers ever dressed in white; and a Ronnie Scott’s residency.’ Volume Magazine
