Burn Halo was formed by James Hart, lead singer of Eighteen Visions. Says Hart, "I wanted to make a very straightforward rock album. Something that had commercial appeal, but also something that had a classic, vintage mid-80s throwback vibe to it." Produced and co-written by Zac Maloy, who has also co-written with Daughtry, David Cook, and Theory of a Deadman. Daniel Adair from Nickelback tracked the drums and Chris Chaney from Jane's Addiction played bass.
