Vs. - Order it here.


The Horrible Truth About Burma - Order it here.


Signals, Calls and Marches - Order it here.



Below is footage from the vinyl mastering sessions for The Mission of Burma Definitive Editions:






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)


Not A Photograph is now available through MVD. You can pick up a copy right here.


'The Obliterati' has arrived.
Order it here.

"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
Three brand new t-shirt designs for the Definitive Editions are now available in our on-line shop.

Mission of Burma

Sorry we’ve been such boneheads about keeping in touch. Where ya been? How are ya? We've missed hearing from you!

We finally figured out that FREERIDER = "Hippie-shredder groove-rock". What do you think?

We have a lot to share, so come by for a FREE DOWNLOAD here: http://freeriderrockband.com

Let us know what’s up with you, OK?

Peace & guitars.

Your fans,

FREERIDER

Will those be available again anywhere?

I've started up a blog recently, and I was wondering if any of the Burma guys would be interested in an interview. I'm writing a post about your music soon and would love to hear about future plans or a new album or anything. If you're interested in checking out the blog, or if anyone is interested in the interview, you can email me at altron2095@sbcglobal.net or message me on myspace.

Thanks for your time.
