Reformed post-punk legends Mission of Burma hit the West Coast of the U.S. later this week for a four-date tour that includes an appearance at Seattle’s Bumbershoot festival, and, ahead of that, they’ve treated fans to a bit of new music in the form of this rehearsal video of the group jamming on new song “Panic is Not an Option.”
The band, which released Unsound in 2012, plays Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland, Ore., ahead of the Seattle festival. See full dates, and the rehearsal video, below.

One of the greatest live bands in the world. Haven’t seen them since the VS. tour in 83. Would love a Southeast tour, but I know they have day jobs.
These guys ROCK. Saw em in DC a few years back. Always good.
