Missing Persons is a California New Wave band that was formed in 1980. They gained popularity with their unique sound and catchy songs such as "Destination Unknown," "Right Now," "Walking In L.A.," and "Words." Their music combines elements of rock, pop, and electronic genres, creating a distinct sound that sets them apart from other artists of their time.

Their style can be compared to other popular New Wave bands like Romeo Void, The Fixx, General Public, Adam Ant, Berlin, Naked Eyes, 'Til Tuesday, The Motels, Book Of Love, Thomas Dolby, The Go-Go's, Oingo Boingo,Wang Chung , Altered Images,Men Without Hats,Bow Wow Wow,Thompson Twins ,Howard Jones,A Flock Of Seagulls,and Wall Of Voodoo.

With their energetic performances and memorable songs, Missing Persons quickly became a favorite among fans of the New Wave movement. Their influence on the music industry can still be felt today as they continue to inspire new generations of musicians.

New Wave / Post Punk

The 1984 sophomore album by Missing Persons, Rhyme &amp; Reason, saw the band taking a more experimental approach. The prevailing sound of the album was Terry Bozzio's electronic drums and percussion. The album cover, with it's sophisticated black and white Helmut Newton photos showing a generally make-up free band, could be somewhat misleading because the music video for the first single "Give" showed Missing Persons as colorful and distinctive as ever. The pure pop "Right Now" was released as the second single and playful music video, while third single "Surrender Your Heart" took a more melodic approach with acoustic guitars complimenting the keyboard washes. The experimental "All Fall Down" and "Racing Against Time" added further layers to another strong album, while the album closes with what is arguably the best track, "If Only For The Moment." Rhyme &amp; Reason showed a band daring to try new things while succeeding to retain their identity. In addition to the original ten album tracks, this newly remastered from original tapes edition also includes an album outtake and two exceptional 12" single remixes.
