What It Is to Burn is the debut album by American post-hardcore band Finch. It was produced by former Drive Like Jehu drummer Mark Trombino (Jimmy Eat World, Madina Lake, Blink-182). Daryl Palumbo from New York rock band Glassjaw makes a guest appearance on two songs, "Grey Matter" and "Project Mayhem". The first pressing of the album contained a demo version of "What It Is to Burn"—which was originally on the compilation album Welcome to the Family (2001)—instead of the re-recorded version that was on later pressings.
