A never-before-released U2 song has emerged in new movie Killing Bono.
The movie portrays the early years of the band through the eyes of friend and rival Neil McCormick. Now a journalist for the Daily Telegraph, the film is based on McCormick‘s memoir I Was Bono’s Doppelganger.
NME.COM‘s exclusive clip above shows U2‘s debut gig in Dublin in their original incarnation as The Hype. The song they perform, ‘Street Missions’, is a lost track from those early days.
Producer Ian Flooks told NME: “The song The Hype play at the first gig is a song called ‘Street Missions’ that, although written by them, was as far as I know never recorded so this is the first time it’s been recorded.”
