Everyone who knows me a little better actually should know that there are probably two hardcore bands which I put above every other shitgroup. First there is Judge, second there is Burn. While Judge got me because they were one of the first real hard (and by "hard" I mean, in fact "hard") bands around with emotional and personal lyrics, Burn always will have a place in my heart as a band that stood out of the masses like no other band at that time did.
While coming out of the same scene Judge, YOT and many others came from, the band knew how to put hardcore on some next, higher level. With the release of their first self-titled 4-song ep on Revelation Records they showed that progression is possible within such a small, sometimes ignorant scene. Burn took a completlely different path than others did.
Until that day, I personally think that no other band could mess with Burn the way they made and played their songs. Of course, a lot has changed and a thousand of bands existed or still exist that are technically on a higher level, but the thing that made Burn special is, that they still were a hardcore band. It wasn't just a band where everyone wanted to show their skills, they still got short and fast songs with the energy of punk and hardcore... progressive hardcore!
By chance a found some videos of one of their later on following reunion shows. Check them out. Seems like not a lot of people did really care about them, but still the band went nuts and played well. On the second guitar we have Vic 108/Beyond/Shelter. Man, Vic and Gavin, two of the most interesting guitarplayers in the history of hardcore in one band! ...Oh and check out Chaka's speech in the beginning of "New Morality". Yes, I love Burn. Good Night!
