Mission of Burma - That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate Mission of Burma - That’s When I Reach For My Revolver starts with the two-minute punk killer "The Ballad of Johnny Burma" and keeps the pace from there, while Horrible Truth's evening show stretches a marathon 17 songs and ends with sweat and "Academy Fight Song," visualizing a band not at their peak but just getting started.And introducing, WE POD ECONO: an Our Band Could Be Your Life miniseries! We are taking a journey through Michael Azerrad’s chronicle of the 1980’s American underground rock scene, continuing today with Chapter Three: Mission of Burma! We’re joined by author Rob Sheffield to talk Boston excellence, Zines, radio, Clown Night, and the Horrible Truth About Burma!įollow find all his work at Rolling Stone here: Though the band's clearly road-weary – Miller already wearing rifle-range earmuffs to protect his deteriorating hearing – they're unrelenting. Signals' black-and-white collection from '79 and '80 is pre-MTV in its artiness, but the two '83 sets from the Bradford Hotel in Boston are of particular interest. The bull's-eye is, thus, three DVDs of live performances. The liner notes are flush with archival photos and gems such as Miller's audiology report from 1982 and a 1983 rejection letter from Warner Bros., but the group's feral, stop-on-a-dime Clash-like punk, buttressed by a new musical angularity that would come to define the emerging universe of post-punk, remains as disconcertingly primal as ever.
Horrible Truth, the band's posthumous 1985 live release of their final 1983 tour, also features four bonus tracks from NYC and Detroit. The tight, stabbing "Academy Fight Song" b/w "Max Ernst" 7-inch now opens 1981's Signals, along with two previously unreleased studio tracks, and '82's sprawling Vs. With these three LPs recently out-of-print, Matador's "definitive editions" of MoB's Ace of Hearts Records catalog are especially exciting, all three remastered by original producer/Ace owner Rick Harte. The Boston quartet – guitarist Roger Miller, bassist Clint Conley, drummer Peter Prescott, and sound manipulator Martin Swope – defined innovation, and the fact that they created a sound imitated to this day in two albums speaks volumes. goes down this summer at the Pitchfork Music Festival.
