Slowburn was a Canadian alternative rock band, best known for the 1996 Alternative top-10 single "Whatever" from their self-titled album released on the Handsome Boy Records label and from the soundtrack to the 1995 movie ''My Teacher's Wife''. The video directed by Ulf Buddensieck from the second single from the album, "Hit the Ground", was nominated for a Much Music Best Independent Video award. ==History== Formed in Vancouver, Slowburn consisted of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Cliff Boyd, drummer Robert Watkins, lead guitarist Charles Boname, and a variety of bassists. Their first bassist was Neil Atkinson. Atkinson was followed by Harvey Windsor and final bassist Chris Pollon. The original name for the band was Catherine Wheel, however because there was already a successful English band with the same name, they chose Slowburn before the release of their debut album ''Sparked'' in 1994.〔http://www.seemagazine.com/Issues/1997/970417/mus2.html〕〔http://www.ffwdweekly.com/Issues/1997/0522/mus5.html〕 In 1996, Slowburn released a self-titled album, that featured a re-recording of "Whatever" that originally appeared on ''Sparked'', and two other singles: "Hit the Ground" and "Flesh + Bone". The album was recorded at Mushroom Studios, and mixed at Bryan Adams Home Studio by Randy Staub. Former Blue Peter guitarist Chris Wardman produced the album. The self-titled album was a moderate success on Canadian Campus Chart, debuting at No. 34 on April 30, 1996,〔(April 30, 1996 Campus Radio Chart )〕 and peaking at No. 16 on June 11.〔(June 11, 1996 Campus Radio Chart )〕 In addition to success on the album charts, the single "Whatever" debuted at No. 28 on the RPM Alternative 30 charts on April 29, 1996.,〔(Rock/Alternative - Volume 63, No. 11, April 29 1996 )〕 peaking at No. 10, where it stayed for two weeks in June 1996.〔(Rock/Alternative - Volume 63, No. 16, June 03 1996 )〕 After touring extensively behind their self-titled album, the band broke up in the midst of finishing their third album.
