Burning Down the Charade

Burning Down the Charade is a small band made of two individuals, Daniel Smith and Sean Herring, out of Chandler, Arizona. The best way to describe the sound of this band is alternative, but it is much different from the usual alternative bands. Strange noises shake the speakers with deep lyrics from the heart. These lyrics are written about life's ups and downs. Dan and Sean say their music is influenced by "anything in life that hurts or feels great... your ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend, your knowledge of depression... loving your life, hating your life, taking your breath as if it was your last...etc." All of these emotions come together to form the great sounding songs produced by Burning Down the Charade.

Burning Down the Charade is played on WLFC radio in Ohio. The songs are written and recorded by Dan Smith at "The Cave" in Mesa, Arizona. 

I like to listen to Burning Down the Charade during long car rides, flights, doing homework, and while I relax. My favorite song by them is "Married to the Sea". Here is where they play their infamous lyrics, "taking names and breakin' hearts in the back seat of my car," which is written on their band t-shirts. This song talks about the hardships in life. The background music sounds depressed, but happy at the same time. As if life is moving on, things will get better.
