Power Trio mssv Returns With Third Album ‘On And On’ Including Improvised Songs

Power trio mssv have announced On And On, their 3rd studio album, featuring the rhythm team of drummer Stephen Hodges (Tom Waits, Mavis Staples, David Lynch) and bassist mike watt (MINUTEMEN, fIREHOSE, Stooges) alongside guitarist and bandleader, Mike Baggetta. 

On And On features new songs that were written by Baggetta before their 58-show 2023 US tour and performed every night, recorded and produced by Chris Schlarb at BIG EGO Studio in Long Beach, CA immediately after. The album comes out on BIG EGO Records on 12” LP vinyl, digital download and streaming services on Friday, March 7, 2025 and features artwork by John Herndon (Tortoise). 

Featured in the works on this album is a band-improvised song and, on the vinyl issue only, six more band-improvised interludes.

On and On is “an album where all the works combine to create an endless episodic journey through the temporal and seemingly fleeting nature of society, personality, music, and life and death on Earth, only to realize that all of these are also endlessly repeating.”
