Burnt Reynolds

Sharing members with bands like Neighborhood Zero, Clear Coats and Dick Janitor, Burnt Reynolds and His Hot Bones is one of THEE most important bands in the Provo, UT garage and punk scene. They released a split tape for a tour of the Western US with The Split Reactions and put out a 5 song CD EP during the summer of 2011. They also had a song included on 2010's Provo punk compilation album, Weird You Out, Vol. 1.

Sadly, the band's two founding members, Burnt Reynolds and Watered Downey Junior, have moved to the Arizona desert, but hopefully we'll hear more recordings from these weirdos.
