Man With A Mission Presents 'Dead End In Tokyo' The Game
By: Caryn Robbins Mar. 24, 2017
Today (3/24), MAN WITH A MISSION--the five-piece ultimate life form rock band that blends rock, punk, pop and dance--have released "Dead End In Tokyo" The Game. The interactive computer game--available worldwide in English and Japanese on desktops and smart phones--puts fans in the shoes of one of the band members to fight their way through the streets of Tokyo using instruments as their weapon (and collecting coins along the way) to help free the others from kidnappers in time to perform a show.

The new computer game is named for the band's latest single, "Dead End In Tokyo," co-written and produced by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump. The song--an ode to the people who come to Tokyo with big dreams but end up stuck in a dead end--marks MAN WITH A MISSION's first global single and first release under Epic Records. The track confidently struts along on an arena-ready groove and thick guitars before culminating in the chant, "Keep on living, but you'll never leave alive." Download/stream "Dead End in Tokyo" on the following platforms: iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and Amazon Digital.

About MAN WITH A MISSION:
As the story goes, half-man, half-wolf band MAN WITH A MISSION thawed out of icy coffins in 2010 and tore through Japan with a feral rock 'n' roll energy on par with that of Godzilla. Over the course of four albums, most recently2016's The World's On Fire (Sony Music Entertainment), the band became an international phenomenon in their own right. Produced by the legendary Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Korn) and featuring collaborations with Crosses' Shaun Lopez (Deftones, Lupe Fiasco), the record clawed its way to #1 on iTunes and sold over 200K physical copies in less than two months. Since their emergence, they've taken a bite out of world-renowned festivals such as FujiRock, Summer Sonic, Knotfest and more in addition to touring with Rise Against. Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson shared the stage with these animals during a sold-out show at The Roxy in Hollywood and lent his remixing talents to"Distance." Moreover, their music has been heard in Street Fighter V and the Japanese release of the Academy® Award-nominated blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road.
Teeth sharpened and harrier than ever, they set their sights on North Americafor a 2017 takeover.
