Summary
Jason from Toronto's Burning Out joins OurSpace with Matt Vettese to discuss the band's new single "Kill Me Maybe," their upcoming EP, heartbreak, songwriting, DIY culture, and the evolution of the Toronto punk scene. Jason shares how the band's latest songs chronicle the emotional stages of processing a difficult breakup, why songwriting has become a form of therapy, and how Burning Out blends influences from melodic hardcore, pop punk, emo, and post-hardcore into something uniquely their own. We also talk about the Toronto scene in the 2000s, Warped Tour, mixed-genre lineups, social media's impact on independent bands, and the challenges of balancing music with adult life. Plus, Jason recommends a stack of underrated Toronto-area bands that deserve more attention.
