The Mission U.K. return with a new album titled The Brightest Light in September. The band--which consists of original members Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams, and Simon Hinkler, along with drummer Mike Kelly--premiered a new song titled "Drag," yesterday. Check out the rocking track below via Artist Direct:
The Brightest Light will be released on cd, vinyl, and as a digital album download on September 17th and will be preceded by the album's first single, "Sometimes The Brightest Light Comes From The Darkest Place," on August 20th.
