Burning Airlines were an American Rock Band from Washington, D.C. . J. Robbins and Bill Barbot of Jawbox formed the band with Peter Moffett, formerly of Government Issue . HISTORY Robbins and Barbot had been jamming with Moffett while Jawbox was still active, briefly asking him to fill in after drummer Zach Barocas' departure. However, this lineup was not to be, and Jawbox called it quits shortly thereafter. The musicians' familiarity gave them a distinct advantage, and Burning Airlines was born fully formed, and off and running to a very quick start. Taking their name from a . Unable to tour full-time, Bill Barbot bowed out of Burning Airlines and long time friend and Jawbox roadie, Mike Harbin took over as bassist. This lineup would do some extensive touring and record their second release, "Identikit" on DeSoto Records in 2001. Shortly afterwards, Benjamin Pape was added as second Guitarist/keyboards/vocalist. Burning Airlines were involved in a minor controversy, after the September 11, 2001 Attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. Burning Airlines were in the middle of a major North American Tour when the attacks occurred. Many clubs refused to display the name "BURNING AIRLINES" atop their marquees so shortly after the attacks. The band had considered changing their name, but after some time and reflection, decided the name was still appropriate, and had taken a new meaning and relevancy. Burning Airlines then suddenly and abruptly split up in 2002. The band released two full length albums, a self-titled EP and "split" releases with At The Drive-In and Braid . DISCOGRAPHY Albums
