The short-lived 1980s Boston outfit Mission Of Burma was one of the most influential American post-punk bands, combining fiercely modernist sonic layers with sheer brute-force, high-volume rock. Eclectic leader Roger Miller subsequently went on to the experimental solo project No Man and the prog-rock band Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic before eventually reforming Mission Of Burma for live performances in 2002 and a 2004 album, ONoffON.
