The Innocence Mission Set Release

PR reports: On March 20, 2007, Badman Recording Co. will release "We Wallked In Song," the ninth studio recording from the Lancaster, PA-based trio, THE INNOCENCE MISSION. 

The band formed in 1988 and centered around the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Don and Karen Peris. They released three highly acclaimed records on A&M, one on RCA and developed a devoted following. "We Walked in Song" is already being hailed as one of their strongest works, though for songwriter Karen Peris there was great personal loss in the beginning stages of creating the album. Badman's Dylan Magierek explains, "Sometime after the passing of her father, Karen began to write as a way of coping with this great loss, which was compounded with the loss of her mother. The result is some of the most beautiful and heartfelt material I have heard from the band." The band plans on touring the East Coast in the spring of 2007.- Click Here for the Full Story
