Gathering praise from music giants Robert Plant, Paul Weller & Pete Townshend, Burr Island are quickly cementing their position as a rising force in the industry.
After recording at Kundalini Studios in Devon with Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene, The Specials), their first four singles garnered National Radio support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing & Radio X.
