Burn Halo July 29, 2009

James Hart spent nearly a decade recording and touring as the frontman of Orange County band 18 Visions. After their breakup in early 2007, Hart quickly redirected his creative energy and landed a label deal with Island/Def Jam and began working almost immediately with songwriter Zac Maloy on what would become Burn Halo's self-titled debut. Hart spent much of 2008 finalizing the lineup of his touring band- which he hopes will help write and record Burn Halo's successive albums- with Aaron Boheler on bass, Joey Cunha on lead guitar, Allen Wheeler on rhythm guitar and Ryan Folden on drums.
