TOUCAN COVE SIGNS AWARD-WINNING MISSION HILL
Monday, September 28, 2009



Mission Hill
is an alternative rock band from Boston that mixes provoking songwriting and catchy hooks with moody vocals and strong musicianship. Mission Hill’s new single “Save Me from Me” was added to WXRV as the regional buzz has now grown into a national radio campaign. To sate the hunger of their fans, the band just released a self-titled EP with the single and other fan favorites "This Town," "Forever Anyway," "Long Time Coming," "Jen," and "Down with Young Love." MISSION HILL is available at online stores including Amazon and iTunes.

In addition to earning the number one spot on Alternative Addiction’s “Top Ten Unsigned Bands in the Country” list, lead singer Adam Jensen received an LA Music Award for “Indie Male Vocalist of the Year” and was voted Top Male vocalist by Singer Universe Magazine.

Mission Hill is made up of all Boston residents (albeit two international transplants): Jensen, guitar player Alex Knutsen (Berklee grad), bassist Zach Jagentenfl and drummer Takuma Anzai.

The band was also just provided sponsorship by Dickie's, the international clothing company.

Relentless gigging on the East coast, including dates with Candlebox, Secondhand Serenade and The White Tie Affair among others, has generated a huge fan base which keeps Mission Hill at the top of MySpace charts. Tour dates and music are available at:

“…a blazingly bright future is likely in store for Mission Hill.”

“…whether they play up their boyish charm, rock out with their hyper power pop energy, or melt hearts with their lyrical sensitivity, the band weaves these three distinctive threads together in such a way that the final product is uniquely cohesive and far-reaching.”

“…a force to be reckoned with on the New England  music  scene.”
