DNA was a New York No Wave trio formed in 1978 composed of Arto Lindsay, Ikue Mori and Tim Wright. The band had a brief active life (about four years) and released material including the EP A Taste of DNA; their work appears on compilations and live documents such as Last Live at CBGB's.

Appeared on Brian Eno's No New York compilation; released the EP A Taste of DNA on Rough Trade; the compilation DNA on DNA was released by No More Records in 2004. Band members went on to separate musical careers (Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori among them).

DeBaser hosts two reviews of DNA highlighting their role in the No Wave scene, their abrasive antipop approach, and short-lived but influential existence. Reviews discuss the band's 1978 formation, membership (Arto Lindsay, Ikue Mori, Tim Wright), and releases including A Taste of DNA and live recordings. Critics praise the band's confrontational sound, Lindsay's guitar/vocal style, and the historical place of their work.
