HILL BOMBERS/WEIGHTLESSNESS

In 2008, Jon Burns began recording songs for this split CD, but the preparation had begun years prior. As his band Sever the Hands was winding down, Jon was still writing, and a release to get these songs down and archived was obvious.

This is a pure project release. No tours, promotion, or concern for sales were intended. One show was performed in Syracuse, and Jon was able to play some songs solo on a Rejouissance tour in Florida. The split and the two different names has to do with the different type of sounds between the two projects. Hill Bombers and Weightlessness are the same guy, recording and playing everything.

We loved that this was broken into a split because split releases are usually between two projects, and that's exactly what this is, just the same guy. Hill Bombers draws from a distorted skate rock sound, with a nice amount of humor akin to Annihilation Time and DRI. Weightlessness feels more introspective, drawn out, and heavy, in the vein of Japan's Envy and Mogwai.
