Episode 79: Mission of Burma

This week we’re talking about the wildly influential Mission of Burma. These guys basically created indie rock in the late 70s, were then mislabeled as punk, which led them to being pretty unpopular and quickly breaking up. Fast forward 20 years, the people realized they screwed up and Mission of Burma reunited to release four more records. Really good band that truly created a sound and kept elaborating upon it.

Closing track: “Red” from Signals, Calls, and Marches (1981)
