Although he co-founded the follow-up band Born Against with guitarist Adam Nathanson, he left early in its career, appearing only on its demo cassette and first compilation track.
Burke next joined the short-lived indie rock group Menace Dement, playing bass on their debut EP and posthumous album.
Around this time, he and McPheeters co-founded Men's Recovery Project, an experimental noise rock band, who released several albums and toured extensively over the next ten years before disbanding.
Burke also embarked on a solo project called Sinking Body, which played its own brand of brash noise rock.
[8] He is currently designing record covers, graphic tees and posters for bands and creating illustrations for various magazines[9] when not working on his own music and art.
