MISSIO Teams Up With Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland For Re-imagined “Good Vibrations”
August 30, 2024 BY Emma Orland
Texas duo MISSIO unleash the re-imagined single “Good Vibrations” featuring Wes Borland of the legendary nu metal band Limp Bizkit, whose additions allow the already anthemic, alt-electronic track to soar to new heights. The song, mixed by Diamond certified Mark Needham (Imagine Dragons, The Killers), is available everywhere today. Listen HERE and watch HERE.
“When we first found out that Wes was willing to work with us, we both freaked out. He’s been a huge influence for us both growing up. After hearing his additions to the song, we sat back, and it felt surreal realizing that we got the opportunity to collaborate with someone as legendary as him. He took the song to a slightly darker place, and we instantly resonated,” adds the band.
The single release kicks off the band’s forthcoming U.S. fall tour with Badflower in support of their latest album, I Am Cinco. Catch the band’s energetic live show starting September 3 in Dallas and wrapping on October 22 in Nashville. The tour follows the band’s U.K./E.U. headline tour with The Haunt and a handful of headline tour dates in Asia. Tickets are available to purchase HERE.

“Good Vibrations” is off the band’s most recent full-length album, I Am Cinco, released this past May. The monumental 26-song album fuses rock, electronic, indie and hip-hop into 5 EPs – I Am Sad, I Am High, I Am Awesome, I Am Angry, and I Am Crazy – each tackling 5 various moods that summarizes the complex human emotions. Listen to the empowering statement HERE.
Formulated in the band’s hometown of Austin, TX, I Am Cinco was eventually completed on a creative escape to Mexico City. “We’ve been to multiple countries and had 10 different sessions to write and record these 26 songs. It’s an epic inspired by some of the great old-school double LPs like The Wall or Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness. We’re not just here to check a box; we’re here to be prolific. It puts our creativity out there in a way no other album has. It’s MISSIO,” MISSIO elaborates.
