Bud Burrill

Bud Burrill is an American musician best known as the vocalist for the Seattle-based bands Culprit and Mistrust.

History
In 1981, Burrill formed Culprit along with guitarists Kjartan Kristoffersen and John DeVol, bassist Scott Earl, and vocalist Jeff L'Heureux. Their song "Players" was included on Shapnel Records' 1982 compilation album U.S. Metal Vol. II, and a year later their debut album, Guilty As Charged, was released. Culprit continued touring and working on some new tunes for potential release over a two-year period. However, things began to unravel when Scott Earl left to join TKO. Although the band continued for a brief spell with Scott Bringedahl filling in for Earl, Kjartan Kristofferson would also leave to join TKO, causing Culprit to split up. While the other band members moved on to other musical projects, Burrill has largely focused on raising his family. However, his involvement in Culprit was mentioned in a newspaper article about a local high school band featuring his son, guitarist Ben Burrill, published a quarter-century later.
