Artist History Started In the early 1980s ,the bands founder Ameer Habeeb was sharing A lead vocal role with Jeff Cole ,who at the time handled all the guitar work also.The band name "Burning Bush" was chosen and the primary goal was christian music.The band evolved, adding Jim Jenson on keyboards and Mark Tousley On drums.A few demo recordings were made at Mark Tousleys apt(4 track analog).Soon afterwards Kenny Green joined as the bass player,and was eventually superceded By Ameer Habeeb.Jeff Cole gave up the lead singing role and Ameer Habeeb proceeded do do what he does best ,Rip out the vocals!.Justin was auditioned as a second guitarist and his heavy background in heavy metal added a new direction to the band ,soon after Jim Jenson took his leave Citing stylistic differences as the main reason for his departure,mainly the fact that Justins guitar style had put a new spin on things Jeffs brother Greg joined as the keybd player and Jeff moved on to the primary drummer(he was a multi talented guy)The Band name Soul Survivor was tagged on and the band began to write several new songs and play out more often.For 3 years or so Soul Survivor continued this way A recording project consisting of 2 songs was finished in Sterling NY. And an attempt to finish a full album Began and was never completed. The band you hear today is pretty much the Remains of Soul Survior Ameer Habeeb (one of the greatest vocalists Ive ever heard!)and Justin Richardson (guitarist ,composer).Have put this song together Greg has moved on to Computer Engineering and Jeff has a new band called Breakthrough Brian Stevens band co-manager Lives in Tucson Az and assists Justin in several recording projects (drum programming ,etc.)The song you heard is a computer hard disk recording project mastered at Justin's home studio Brian and Justin have made an attempt to include Greg on some upcoming projects ,Greg has agreed ,but the process is slow going.Hopefully it will happen some time soon,Soul Survivor officailly broke up in the summer of what you are hearing is a compilation from Ameer Habeeb and Justin Richardson.
