American hardcore band formed in New York City in 1989. Lineup: Chaka Malik (vocals), Gavin Van Vlack (guitar), Alex Napack (bass), and Alan Cage (drums). Considered foundational to the NYHC "post-hardcore" sound that followed.
Released one EP in the original era — the self-titled Burn (1990) on Revelation Records — plus the LP Last Great Sea (2017) after a reunion. The band's brief original tenure was deeply influential; Van Vlack and Cage went on to Absolution and Beyond, with Cage later joining Quicksand. Malik later led Orange 9mm.
