Christopher Burnside

Singer, songwriter, guitarist for xoforever, Inherent Vices, Tight Solid, and Treacherous Machete.

Owner of XOFOREVER Records.

20 year veteran of the artistic purgatorial Bermudic quadrangle (water, border, mountains, nothing) of Vancouver, Canada.
I've attached an 80ish song career-spanning retrospective with my Spotify link (all music should be available on all platforms. Free downloads on the respective Bancamp's, and all my music is royalty free for use on any creative projects you may so desire).

Inherent Vices & Tight Solid being punk/rock. xoforever being acoustic love song stuff. Treacherous Machete being blues scuzz.

Followed my beautiful, genius wife here while she works on her Criminology PhD at the University Of Manchester.
Looking for musicians to work with: particularly queer/trans people, women, and people of colour.
I'm not interested in garnering attention for myself, so if we work together expect to have any attention diverted and directed your (and other bandmates) way.
You'll be encouraged to promote any other projects you have.
Located in an idyllic village not far from Hebden Bridge.
Looking for synth, drums, bass, guitar, and soundscape artists (and anyone else that feels they can contribute)... and maybe even a producer, manager, or record label.
Currently interested in/writing softer love songs for xoforever.
Although, l'm also open to maybe singing for a dumb cover band just for fun.

Before moving to the UK, I spent 10 years working with severely mentally-ill, street-entrenched/homeless people with co-occurring drug addictions in Vancouver's DTES. Benevolence, kindness, and compassion are incredibly important to me.
Open to volunteer opportunities in this field or with underprivileged children.

So much love,
xoforever
