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:



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

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

If anyone out there has a decent recording of the MIT show from Sunday the 4th they can burn me (or send a link to), it'd be appreciated for this Burma fan stick in Amerikkka's heartland who couldn't make it (sniff sniff).
