Press For The Burroughs

“The choreography from dancers and the band's lead vocalist offers exhilarating and rousing aspects to the visuals, and it truly snags our full, undivided attention.” - BuzzMusic, “Baby Get Down” Video Review

The Burroughs ‘Baby Get Down’ Is Funk Personified - Carter Ferryman, 303 Magazine, Sept. 2021

“Preaching love and unity is essential. Acting on those principles, however, is an entirely different beast altogether. Combining the two ideas forms the backbone of a community, state, nation, and world. Bringing the two together is precisely what the Colorado-based nine-piece, The Burroughs, did when they formed back in 2013. Now, they have now showcased that harmony with their latest Eric Krasno-produced digital 45, Love and Unity.” - Live for Live Music, Exclusive Premiere

Live Studio Session at Indie 102.3 - Sept. 2019

“It is a new slice of polished tunes for the enjoyment of all. Horns hold sway yet again as funk reigns supreme. The Burroughs are just fantastic in every way.” Myles Hunt, Impose Magazine

“The song is a tongue-in-cheek tale about ducking the many pressures and aggravations of modern life. The band drops pure fire on this funkalicious groove—super-tight horn lines, bumpin’ bass, dirty rhythm guitar and a sizzling beat. And can we talk about that bridge? The Godfather himself would tip his hat to this monster of a bridge, which raises the track’s funk level through the roof.” Funkatropolis

Destined for Greatness - Steve Graham, Thirst Colorado, June 2018

"Got to Feel, the first full-length studio effort from Greeley-based soul outfit The Burroughs, deserves a place on the shelf between the likes of Parliament Funkadelic and Sly & The Family Stone. The record is packed with old-school soul grooves that pound through a listener’s ears and into his/her feet." Will Black, Argento Studios 

"Got to Feel is a sonic exploration unlike anything seen from the band before. These nine songs are more than just a breath of fresh air, they are the thunderstorm the people have been waiting for. Fresh, unapologetic, and a journey into the heart of what they’ve been doing all along, this album breaks them free from any particular labels." Bandwagon Magazine

"Of course, more often than not, the creativity of The Burroughs comes from performing live on stage – something which they fully realize. Burroughs and his bandmates aren’t just providing lip service about playing music with their friends and they think that solidarity is a big part of the sound that they have on stage." The Marquee

"With nine players — complete with a charismatic frontman, guitar and bass players, a drummer and four horns — their sound harks back to an age when soul was just a stone’s throw from the hallowed halls of gospel." The Know

"It really does take a lot to stop me in my tracks and make me listen… even harder to make me turn around while I’m walking off. Nothing online will prepare you for the energy of a Burroughs’ live show."  Chris K. - The Colorado Playlist

"Recorded at The Moxi Theater in Greeley over two nights in May, the album showcases a high energy funk and soul band through 13 tracks that mostly last over five minutes each. It becomes clear why the band chose to release a live album: this is music best experienced live. You can imagine audiences getting worked up into a sweaty frenzy, creating its own kind of funk." Hey Reverb
