M.I.A. were a seminal hardcore punk band from Las Vegas / Orange County. They appeared on the classic 1982 Last Rites for Genocide and M.I.A. split LP and released the Murder in a Foreign Place album on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label in 1984.
In 1985, the band enlisted the services of producer Thom Wilson (T.S.O.L, Dead Kennedys, D.I., D.O.A., etc.) and recorded Notes from the Underground. Following a path treaded by the likes of the Damned and T.S.O.L., the band expanded their sound with darker tones and a more personal approach. The band split-up soon after the release of the record.
Reissue on coloured vinyl with a handscreened cover, 2 inserts and a fantastic A4 40-page fanzine that includes relevant fanzine interviews/reviews/flyers from the 1985-87 era of the band, plus interviews on the making of the album from surviving band members.
Note: this is one of a special issue of 23, these are extra copies left over from the Notes/After The Fact Double LP set
