Mission of Burma
2wice
[Matador]
In honor of the new Mission of Burma album “The Obliterati” out, please listen to the single “2wice” from the Matador website. Initial feeling-outs of the latest release from this legendary punk band are pretty cool… same energy-bomb density and urgency. But this is like decades later. The trio seem to have worn awfully well over the years. Well, “worn” is probably the wrong word to use here; their sound is as fresh as back in the day, with frenetic drum hits and bass lines and raw slashing guitars that meld together in a powerful and melodic song.
