Show Notes
The Boston based post-punk band, Mission of Burma, was together for only four years during their initial run, but they had a lasting impact on music. One of the few releases from the band during these years was the landmark 1981 EP Signals, Calls, and Marches, which would be very influential to the future of alternative rock and indie rock.
This episode discusses the band and their music during the incredible run from formation in 1979 until disbanding in 1983.
