LONER has proven one of the year's most significant debuts, highlighted of course by MISSIO's breakthrough single, "Middle Fingers," available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Released at the top of 2017, "Middle Fingers" quickly blew up at SiriusXM's Alt Nation where it ascended to #1 in the influential "Alt-18 Countdown" before ultimately reaching the top 10 on Billboard's "Alternative Songs" chart as well as the top 20 across Billboard's "Mainstream Rock Songs," "Hot Rock Songs," and "Rock Airplay" charts. "Middle Fingers" is joined an equally popular companion video, now boasting nearly 5 million individual views via YouTubealone.

MISSIO made high profile television debut earlier this year with a live performance of " Middle Fingers" on TBS' Conan.

LONER - which also features such dynamic tracks as "Everybody Gets High" and " KDV (Ft. SHUG)," - has drawn critical acclaim to match its popular success. "Loaded with bruising bass, icy synths and dark imagery," raved Rolling Stone, "LONER is an exploration of (vocalist-producer Matthew) Brue's winding road to sobriety." "LONER implies a sense of woke with every song," declared Earbuddy. "Through the power of music, good will prevail."

MISSIO was founded in 2014 as a new sonic outlet for Colorado-born musician Matthew Brue and Houston, TX native David Butler, the two musicians teaming up to create something unlike anything either had done before. The duo's widescreen amalgam of inventive production technique, lyrical wit, and endlessly insistent pop hooks instantly proved a sensation with "I Don't Even Care About You" - featured on 2015's debut - rising to #7 on Spotify's "Viral 50-Global" chart after first appearing on the automated "Fresh Finds" playlist.

The MISSIO EP was followed by "Can I Exist," featured in a truly extraordinary companion video that earned such prizes as "Best Video" at 2016's Austin Music Video Festival and the "Audience Award" at 2016's New Orleans Film Festival. MISSIO's remarkably cinematic sonic approach also earned them placement on a variety of soundtracks, including MTV's Scream and Finding Carter, Oxygen's Bad Girls Club, and Victoria's Secret's short film (and biggest lingerie shoot in history), Victoria's Secret Holiday 2016: A Very Private Affair.

More than simply a studio project from the very start, MISSIO made a number of live appearances following their inception, including a much-discussed debut at 2015's South By Southwest (SXSW). The duo followed up with a series of national treks, among them K. Flay's sold-out "Crush Me Tour."
