Burden’s Landing began in 2023, forming around songs written by founding member, guitarist, and songwriter Noah Mullinax. After settling in Washington, DC after a move from New York City, Mullinax began rehearsals with fellow musicians, leading to the band’s debut EP Could This Be a Portal? (2024). The five track EP, with a 30-minute runtime, was entirely self-recorded in Mullinax’s family home in the Shenandoah Valley. V13 Media described the debut songs as “grunge, shoegaze, and indie rock blended together into a collection that ranges from laid-back to in-your-face.”

Following their debut release, Burden’s Landing spared no time playing the many musical establishments across DC, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, setting up shop at local clubs, DIY venues, and record store basements alike.

This past autumn, the band journeyed to Cart Studios in Philadelphia to record a 3-track live album entitled Live in West Philly (2026), including two new tracks. April Again and Never Comin’ Back showcase the bands developing style and capture their dynamic sound–striking a balance between a distorted guitar, thumping basslines, and hard-hitting rhythms, that both please the ear with melodic punk-infused jams and, at times, lull the listener into spacier, explorative soundscapes.

4 Songs, Burden’s Landing forthcoming EP, is the clearest statement of purpose thus far. Blank Page, the lead single, provides an anthemic, grunge-infused jam. Hallucination, the complimentary single, is a 7-minute punk trance, clocking in as the band’s fastest tempo to date. While the rest of the EP, including the songs Her and Runner, provide a more reflective and tender approach to songwriting. 4 Songs is a collection you can mosh to, sing along to, blast in the car, and find rewarding with a deep listen.

Mullinax’s guitar ebbs between full-fledged overdrive and spacey, shoegaze-inspired riffage. Christian Scott James on drums provides hard-hitting punk rhythms, while Jorge E. Bañales rocks a Rickenbacher bass, providing the bridge between the band’s melodic progressions and high-energy compositions.

“Formed out of a period of creative momentum and personal transition, Burden’s Landing is a Washington, DC–based band that pulls equally from punk urgency, melodic introspection, and the raw electricity of a live room.” - Music Crowns

“This is a group committed to showing up, turning on the amps, and letting the songs speak for themselves.” - Indiefferential Magazine
