Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. Inspired by artist-activists including Nina Simone and Woody Guthrie, her catalog exhibits a wide exploration of genre woven together by humor, a fondness for classic melodies, and the spirit of punk rock.
After two decades spent on the road, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits (Little Flame, Rich People, Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch). 2026 will see heavy touring and two new releases, beginning with The Red Album Vol. II. on January 16th.
The Burning Hell is the musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalist Ariel Sharratt. Their narrative-driven songs are packed with literary, historical, and pop-cultural subjects, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a surprising, wry, and even occasionally beautiful world. Based in the woods of Prince Edward Island, Canada, The Burning Hell emphasizes connection and commitment to the political power of sharing music.
**** "...funny, sardonic, and literate. Add in a new-wavey, Loaded-era VU sensibility, and it's impossible not to be swayed by these acerbically funny story songs."
MOJO MAGAZINE
"...super literate and fantastically droll, over backings that range from bubbling synth pop and acoustic folk to rattly punk and even a spot of semi-calypso. Silver Jews and Jeffrey Lewis spring to mind on the terrific ‘Birdwatching’; ‘Bird Queen of Garbage Island’ sounds like a glorious revival of Tom Tom Club."
UNCUT MAGAZINE
9/10 "Maybe The Burning Hell won’t be for everyone – I don’t think they’d even want to be for everyone – but if you like brilliant, thought-provoking lyrics, superb musicianship and killer tunes, you know what… you might just love this too."
