Austin, Texas' MISSIO are an electronic duo known for their dark, emotive pop. Formed in 2014, MISSIO feature singer/songwriter Matthew Brue and producer/instrumentalist David Butler. Initially, the project began as an outlet for Brue's solo material. However, after he invited Butler to collaborate on a few songs, they decided to move forward together. Recording in Butler's converted garage/home studio, they began sculpting their brooding, anthemic sound, releasing such tracks as "I Don't Even Care About You," "I Run to You," and "Can I Exist?" By the end of 2015, they had made their debut at SXSW and garnered support slots alongside acts like SAFIA, K. Flay, and others. In early 2017 they delivered the single "Middle Fingers" and signed a recording contract with RCA Records, which released their debut full-length, Loner, in May of that year. A pair of stripped-down EPs, Skeletons, Pt. 1 & Pt. 2, followed in 2018, acting as companion pieces to Loner. MISSIO kicked off 2019 with the "Rad Drugz" single. ~ Matt Collar
