Formed in the Philadelphia area following the dissolution of smart ass alternative rockers the Dead Milkmen, Burn Witch Burn is led by former Milkmen frontman Rodney Linderman (better known in his earlier years as Rodney Anonymous). Instead of sticking to his former band's amateurish, punky guitar rock, though, Burn Witch Burn is more of a Pogues-influenced Celtic folk-punk outfit, finding Linderman playing tin whistle, recorder, melodeon, and hurdy-gurdy in addition to singing. The band is rounded out by Vienna Linderman (violin/vocals), Rob Piekarski (guitar/mandolin), Bill Fergusson (mandolin/banjo/bouzouki), Steve Demarest (bass), and Todd Yoder (drums). Burn Witch Burn gigged mostly around the Philly area for about four years before getting down to business and recording their first album. The Lightyear label released the eponymously titled record in the fall of 2000.
