Inspiration to guitar-dads everywhere, Mission of Burma prove the rock doesn't have to stop on the other side of the hill. 2004 comeback album OnOffOn was unanimously received as a worthy addition to the band's oeuvre — an exception to the typically cash-centric rule of rock reunions. Live, the regrouped Bostonians sacrifice little of the feedbacked vitriol that made 1982's Vs. a post-punk landmark, espousing the same noise-as-hooks ethos that set them apart from the chord-mangling pack in the first place. You might not get all the old hits tonight, but, then, you'll probably be too busy flailing to fresh material and an inevitably epic rendition of "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" to notice.
