About the Artist
Mission Hill is an alternative rock band from Boston MA that mixes provoking songwriting, catchy hooks, moody vocals, an energetic live show, and strong musicianship with an unerring commitment to their unique sound. Since forming they have gained a large east coast following through indie distribution and relentless gigging (including a one month stint at the Hard Rock Cafe in Saigon). Their new songs have received much critical acclaim including recently being awarded an LA Music Award for “Indie Male Vocalist of the Year”, as well as being named to the number one spot on Alternative Addiction’s list of “Top Ten Unsigned Bands in the Country”.
Mission Hill has shared the stage with many national acts including The Script, Boys Like Girls, Candlebox, Secondhand Serenade, Tim Reynolds, Marcy Playground, Blessid Union of Souls, WAR, Donavan Frankenreiter,The White Tie Affair and many others. With their new songs and an inspiring live performance that easily wins over every crowd they play for, Mission Hill has become one of the premiere bands on the New England music scene.
New single "Crazy" was recently added to rotation on The River 92.5 in Boston and has been getting steady airplay in many cities across the country. The band has also recently been sponsored by Dickies, the national clothing line.
