In 1996 the band distributed a five song demotape, and in April 1997 released an EP entitled Amusing the Amazing through the record label Malicious Vinyl. According to interviews, Garcia claimed that the band also intended to record a full-length album. Slo Burn toured with Ozzfest in 1997 but decided to split up in September, towards the end of the tour. John Garcia subsequently joined the equally short-lived band Unida, before becoming vocalist with Hermano, who have since recorded three studio albums.
Slo Burn had a sound not dissimilar to that of latter-day Kyuss, which can be attributed to Garcia's singing style and the production work of Chris Goss. However, the music was more direct and less layered or complex. Allmusic describes their style as "simple structures formed out of monolithic rhythm guitars" with "guitar solos that come and go and vibrate weirdly on the way.

Slo Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your turn to me was seen
Miles and miles of green
Well the wheel it falls
A murder, it never stall, yeah
Aha, aha
All the things you want me to be
Baby you can't conceive a slow down
Well, all the things you want me to be
Honey you can't conceive a slow
Ah, aha
Don't ever said you tried
Living with my ride
Driving love and prayer
To anywhere you want to be, yeah
Aha, aha
Well, all the things you want me to be
Honey you can't conceive a slow down, a slow
Well, all the things you want me to be
Baby you can't conceive a slow down, (down) slow down
Well, all the things you want me to be
Honey you can't conceive a slow (down)
Well, all the things you want me to be
Honey you can't conceive a slow
All the things you want me to be
Honey you can't conceive a slow (slow)
All the things you want me to be
Honey you can't conceive a slow

Honey you can't conceive a Slo Burn
The lyrics to Slo Burn's song "Wheelfall" delve into the theme of freedom, particularly the idea that people cannot conform to what others want them to be. The song begins with a reference to a journey, with the line "Your turn to me was seen, miles and miles of green." This suggests that the singer is on some sort of journey, possibly a road trip or a metaphorical journey through life.
The chorus features the lines "All the things you want me to be, baby you can't conceive a slow down." This suggests that someone is pressuring the singer to be something they are not, but the singer is resisting and insisting on taking things slowly. The line "Honey you can't conceive a slow" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the other person cannot understand the singer's desire for independence and freedom.
The second verse references the idea of "living with my ride," which implies that the singer is living life on their own terms, rather than conforming to what others want them to do. The line "Driving love and prayer to anywhere you want to be" reinforces the idea that the singer is free to go wherever they please. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that the singer cannot be constrained.
Overall, "Wheelfall" is a powerful reminder of the importance of being true to oneself and resisting pressure to conform. It celebrates the freedom to choose one's own path and reminds us that others may not always understand our choices.
