The exact release date for the punk-leaning post-punk rockers’ latest is July 6th. Check out the first single – Fire – streaming right now via soundcloud, above.

Mission of Burma initially broke up in 1983, when singer and guitarist Roger Miller developed tinnitus. Their reunion has been a rare treat, far exceeding their first round’s product in both quantity and, arguably, quality – the latter no small feat, as the band’s sole effort during their first incarnation was Vs., a minor classic.

The band is playing a few dates in Missouri and one in Spain in the near future.
