NEW 1,2,3 PARTYY! MUSIC VIDEO!!! Directed by Aaron Brown and Ben Chappell...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... Below is footage from Studio-O-Rama in Cleveland on 9/5/09. Thanks to Steve Barrett:.... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. click ....here ....to watch a video of MOB playing "Eyes Of Men" [The Space & Underground, Boston, 1979-90].... click ....here ....for a video of "Red" live at the Bradford, March 12, 1983 (extract from the Vs. companion DVD).... ..Live Reviews.... .."The group attacked their new songs with just as much passion and sincerity as their old classics, proving once again their exceptional validity as a post-punk revival act. Throughout the ballroom, fans of widely varying ages formed a visual representation of Mission of Burma's breadth and influence. The cult classics and new cuts affected both young and old with the same euphoric spirit.".... - John Crowell, eachnotesecure.com...... ..'The Sound The Speed The Light' has arrived:.... Order it ..here..... ..Reviews:...... .."The greatest punk band to ever trickle down from Boston.".... - The Village Voice...... .."An undiminished talent for visceral rock..... - The New Yorker...... .."Burma's ragged and raging record is a start-to-finish blast, but don't miss out on the party's substance: crafty vocals, heroic guitars, dark humor, steely resolve.".... - The Boston Globe...... .."On their third stellar album after a nearly two-decade hiatus, the Boston art punks unleash more thoughtful brutality, with harried voices, slashing guitars, and rattling drums converting innocent pop tunes into primal catharsis.".... - Spin Magazine...... .."It would've been easy to let The Sound cruise from there, filling it with solid also-rans. But the energy level and commitment continue unabated.".... - Pitchfork...... .."A surprising change of pace for a band that shows no signs of slowing down.".... - Austin Chronicle...... .."The Sound The Speed The Light...shows Mission Of Burma still in fine form, and making rock's most improbable comeback look easy.".... - The Onion (A.V. Club)...... .."The Sound The Speed The Light is the sound of a band working at its craft, focusing its energy and coming up with a hard-won triumph. It's more of the same from a band that has never given us anything but quality.".... - Dusted Magazine...... ..Order 'The Obliterati' ..here....... ..Reviews:...... .."They're making their noise their way, the same way they did some two decades ago. And it's a sound as vital and inspirational as ever.".... - Pitchfork...... .."The Obliterati is powerful, smart and noisy, and, in a perfect world, would be enough to re-start the whole punk thing back at 1975 ground zero.".... - Aversion...... .."The Obliterati succeeds wildly: These 14 all-new songs might even take 1983s legendary Vs. in a fair fight.".. ..- Time Out New York...... .."Mission of Burma have made their best record ever. Not kidding. It's incredible...simply too many beautiful moments to tell you about here. This year's best album, yo."....- The Weekly Dig...... .."Two albums into its second life, Mission Of Burma is making its legendary early days seem like a prelude. (A-).. .. - The Onion.... .... .."Sonic rabble-rousing doesn't get much better than this." ****1/2.... - All Music...... .."How the hell do these 40-something Massholes rock with the urgency of Fugazi and the intelligence of Gang of Four (not just the basslines)? And where do these guys get off taking a 20-year hiatus only to return like Lazarus with a volume fetish?".... - Filter...... .."Theyve managed to produce the best American rock record of the year so far; not bad for a bunch of middle-aged guys from Boston with a nasty case of tinnitus.".. ..- Cokemachine Glow...... .."...a maelstrom of music that comes after you like a police dog on a bloody scent. Its flat out fabulous.".. ..- The Big Takeover...... ..Merch.. .. Four t-shirt designs for the Definitive Editions are now available in our ..on-line shop... .... ....
