The Mission announce Songs For Kith and Kin album, share first single Kindness is a Weapon

The Mission reveal details of their eleventh studio album Songs For Kith and Kin, scheduled for April 2027 release on Cooking Vinyl. The project was delayed due to health issues including open-heart surgery affecting frontman Wayne Hussey. The album features fifteen tracks with the lead single Kindness is a Weapon, previously performed live, blending classic rock structures with vintage guitar loops. Hussey suggests seven or eight songs could serve as potential singles. The band, maintaining largely original lineup with new drummer Alex Baum, celebrates the 40th anniversary of debut Gods Own Medicine with live shows in November. Several tracks incorporate heart-related themes reflecting current global turmoil, though Hussey emphasizes optimism and the importance of family and friendship. An extensive European tour is scheduled for 2027, including appearances at Whitby in October and Paris’s Elysée Montmartre.
