The wolves are coming: MAN WITH A MISSION to go major in the US
Click to viewEdited 12/12/2013 12:30PM (PST): Sorry for any confusion about their compilation-->EP-->album release sequence.
Announced on December 12, 2013 on their official news twitter, rock band MAN WITH A MISSION will be having their major debut in the United States in Fall 2014. Signed to epic records (the same label as Avril Lavigne, Ozzy Osbourne), they will be releasing an original album stateside later next year.
Before that, a compilation album named "Beef Chicken Pork" after their favorite foods, is set to be released in Japan on February 12, 2014. The album will consist of their previously released songs--some of which will be rereleased with all-English lyrics. The tracklist for BCP is below the cut. Following the release of the compilation album is the release of a yet-untitled 4-song EP six days later on February 18, 2014.
MAN WITH A MISSION was just in the United States this past week for two shows--one in New York, and the other in Los Angeles. In addition to these shows, and (probably) finalizing this partnership with epic records, filming a music video in LA made their trip to the states a trip that took down three birds with one stone.
The wolves will return to the United States again in February, while still indies, before heading back to Japan to kick off their three-month long spring tour.

I saw these guys in LA last week and they were even more awesome in person.
Breaking into the US is going to difficult, but I wish them all the luck in the world.
I've seen a few posts with these guys already, could we get them a tag? (*U*)
