The formation of Burn Out West was a slow and steady process that began in the middle-of-nowhere, in northern B.C. Founding members, Syd Starkes (guitar), Mark Moser (bass) and Max Matthews (drums) had already been jamming together for years in Prince George. It was acquiring front man James McMurtrie that Burn Out West came to life.
Their musical influences include Pantera, Black Sabbath, Metallica, GnR, Led Zeppelin, BLS and Down. The group works hard to utilize inspiration from the music they listen to themselves without sacrificing their own unique style of music.
For Burn Out West it's not just driving the music, it's also about fueling a movement.
