Teen U2 as you've never heard before

The Herald.ie has revealed that ....
"A SECRET song composed by U2 around 30 years ago is to be revealed in the new film Killing Bono.
The Herald can revealed that the song, Secret Mission, was recorded by the band shortly after they formed but it has never been heard by the public before"

In fact the song is called "Street Mission" and it appeared for the first time  in The Complete U2 (2004) in the Early Demos session,recorded at  Keystone Studios,  Dublin , 1978

The article goes on...

"It was written before U2 ever existed. They never officially released it, they recorded it when they were teenagers and called themselves The Hype.
"They were probably 16 or 17, it's one of their first ever songs. You can hear where they were going with it though. It has that early punk angst that you would find in a teen band -- but there are hints of where they were going with October in there also.
Gribbin said the majority of people involved in the film have close ties to the legendary band.
"There's a strong U2 connection with the team actually making the film. One of the producers was U2's agent when they first got signed, so they obviously know and trust him," he added.
He approached them saying they needed an early song for that first school gig scene, and they were happy to oblige.
The singer, who performs under the stage name Joe Echo, said that he hopes his version does U2 justice"


Strange to see U2 so young but very appealing for the upcoming movie...
