BurnDown began in August 2002 when founding members Dave Quicks and RokBottom began recording their friends in a warehouse in the East Falls section of Philly. By the time they were finished they had an eighteen-song album (BurnDown presents…Volume 1, The Outside Connect Jawn) representing forty of the best musicians, dj’s, singers and emcees Philly had to offer. Over the next couple of years, along with other founding members Carlito Attack and Kuf Knots, BurnDown began building a traveling team, an All-Star band. By the 2005 release of BurnDown’s second album (BurnDown presents… Volume 2), the All-Stars line-up had solidified. The current twelve man crew has been playing together ever since. Joining guitarist and singer Dave Quicks and emcees Kufie, RokBottom and Carlito is Tom Walling on drums, Rico Joseph on bass, emcees Lord Biz, The Dialects and JawnZap7, Tom Copson on lead guitar and DJ Cramske.A steady performance schedule has the All-Stars’ live show on point. In fact, BDAS was recently named the best independent band in the Northeast at the Independent Music World Series hosted by DiscMakers and Billboard Magazine. BurnDown also has been chosen to represent Philadelphia in the nationwide Bodog Music Battle of the Bands, a touring reality show which will eventually award one band out of seventeen a million dollar record contract. The band has shared the stage with Steel Pulse, Common, Guru and more.BDAS are presently recording what is essentially their first record as a band at BurnDown Studios new home in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. They are looking forward to a busy spring and summer as they finish the new record, continue to tour and anticipate the airing of their new reality show on a national tv network this spring.
