Born in Belfast, Burke's first band was St. Vitus Dance, which released the album Love Me, Love My Dogma^[3] in 1987 before splitting up a few years later. Shortly after the split, Burke was contacted by Will Sergeant and eventually joined the Bunnymen as lead vocalist.^[4] The band released Reverberation (1990) to mixed reviews,^[5]^[6]^[7] though the album has subsequently garnered some acclaim.^[8] The Bunnymen formally announced their disbandment in 1993, after which Burke became a teacher, married and had two kids.

In 2005, Burke reformed St. Vitus Dance for some live shows, and an album of new material, Glyphotheque, was released in 2008.
