| | Mission of Burma: The benefits of rocking over time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | There were, to be sure, various traditional rock and roll bands that supposedly liked their music loud and fast, but never enough to make volume a genuine aesthetic choice. |
 | | Mission of Burma shows were punishing, enveloping the audience in waves of noise - generated both by the instruments on stage and the tape-bender stationed at the back of the venue - that made the concerts something truly visceral: heads throbbed, ears hurt, and fists waved in response. |
 | | Even after all this time, Mission of Burma’s live show is everything it’s reputed to be: a raucous, bruising, and brilliant affair. |
