Burn Season

Burn Season was an American rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed by Damien Starkey and Bobby Amaru in 1998 under the name Smakt Down. The name changed to Burn Season upon signing their record deal with Elektra Records shortly after high school graduation in 2001. The band released 3 albums. Their final lineup consisted of Damien Starkey on vocals, Kevin Renwick on guitar, Brad Stewart on bass and Bobby Amaru on drums.

The group initially signed with Elektra Records to record and release their debut album. However, after business mergers left the band without a label, they eventually found a home with Bieler Bros. Records, releasing their debut album in 2005 before splitting up two years later. While several of the members have since found success with other projects, the band has reunited sporadically since their initial breakup in 2007.
