The Mission UK Sign To The End Records

The End Records are proud to announce the addition of UK legends The Mission UK to their roster. Keeping busy with a North American tour in 2013, The Mission UK have sold over 4 million albums worldwide and just celebrated their 25th anniversary as a band in 2011. Presently, the band are rehearsing to prepare for their 12th studio album before boarding a ship for three back to back shows on the Bristol Channel. While cruising, The Mission will perform their new material to sold out audiences as an exclusive preview of the album. On April 18th, the band will head to a secluded residential studio in the heart of the UK, David M Allen (Depeche Mode, The Cure) is producing the album and comments, “It is a privilege and an honor to be working with the Mission on their new album for The End Records, I’ve had many dealings with the band over the last 30 years that I have known them, and this chance to record with the original members is very special”. But the most exciting part of these plans  the whole process will be filmed for The Mission UK’s new documentary, which will be released next year.

The band as well are looking forward to working with the Brooklyn based label. “Well, who would’ve thought it 12 years ago when we were touring Europe with my mate, Ville Valo and HIM, that we’d end up on The End Records with them in the good ol’ USA somewhere further down the track”, states singer Wayne Hussey. “Very nice to share a label with the legends that are Anvil too and looking forward to blagging some new Dandy Warhols CD’s…If we ask for drugs just laugh and say you can’t get any. It’s healthier for us and for you. See you soon. “
