Review

Rolling Stone (p.96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Roger Miller's multilayered guitar attack buzzes and hisses as fiercely as any other band out there."
Q (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "These broiling drum-led riffs offer curdled cries, much volume and even humour..."
Alternative Press (p.204) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The sound that inspired bands like Sonic Youth -- and thus the indie-rock blueprint -- is still intact..."
The Wire (p.45) - "THE OBLITERATI is packed with energy and furious with ideas. It takes the basic verities of post-punk but twists and evolves them into songs that are immediate and vibrant."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.56) - "Refining their stripped-bare post-punk sound with an elegantly anguished sense of melody that suits the introspective, confessional lyrics..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - "THE OBLITERATI finds Peter Prescott's fierce drumming, Roger Miller's whiplash guitar and Clint Conley's unequivocal bass still in rude health."

Title Note

Mission Of Burma: Clint Conley, Peter Prescott, Roger Miller , Bob Weston.

Recording information: Q Division, Somerville, Massachussets.

While it took Mission of Burma more than two decades to follow up its 1982 debut with 2004's ONOFFON, the Boston-based post-punk act needed only two years to create their third full-length outing, THE OBLITERATI. As on its predecessor, this '06 album rumbles along with both heft and speed, and shows a band remarkably hitting its stride more than 20 years into its career. Core members Roger Miller (guitar/vocals), Clint Conley (bass/vocals), and Peter Prescott (drums/vocals) all contribute numerous tracks, and although fierce, highly percussive tunes are the order of the day (see the blistering "Spider's Web" and the lumbering "Let Yourself Go"), the disc also leaves room for disarmingly spare moments, most notably the melancholy, string-laden "13." Anyone under the impression that the Mission of Burma reunion was a one-shot deal will be set straight by THE OBLITERATI.
