Today we’d like to introduce you to SUNBURNT
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
The group – Justin Tyler (vocals), Will Brown (guitar), and Alex Pombar (bass). This trio does their best to inject a little sunshine into everyday life’s ups and downs. Embracing the spirit of Southern California’s pop, alternative, hardcore, and pop punk traditions, SUNBURNT fuses these influences into a tidy and modern package. Justin, Will, and Alex have all played in various bands for over 15 years and decided after the pandemic that they still had things to say. The band shuns the shiny themes of modern pop music for a real and personal approach to adult life. SUNBURNT is bringing the heat with no patience for the fake.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting a band in the LA area is a huge challenge in itself because there is some much competition. How do you stand out amongst all these great bands? We find ourselves really taking our time when it comes to writing & recording new music because we want to makes sure we come off as genuine & stand out when it comes to releasing music.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
The band decided on SUNBURNT as a metaphor for working a long day in the sun. Having been at it for over 15 years, Justin, Will, and Alex know what it’s like to spend days on the road, nights in cramped venues, and a lifetime creating music. To them, SUNBURNT is a badge of honor and a culmination of an adolescence hard at work to find their own sound.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
The band and I have been playing & writing music for more than 15 years. That said, we have built up a healthy amount of contacts in the music industry. We have used that to our advantage when starting this band and was able to get a jump start from the moment we decided to create music for SUNBURNT.
