One of Boston's most beloved and influential rock bands, Mission of Burma has signed a record deal with Matador and will drop its first new studio recording in more than two decades -- self-produced and recorded at Boston's Q Division -- on May 4. "They made a record that sounds like Mission of Burma, and that sounds dumb, but it's significant when you haven't made a record in 22 years," says band manager Mark Kates.

20 years may seem like a long time, but you consider this is Boston...Where it takes Tom Scholtz that long to come up with a new Boston CD, and where Barry Taschion and the Remains avaerage a CD every 30 years...

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
